Creeps in this petty pace from day to day. To the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools. The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player. That struts and frets his hour upon the stage. And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.                                                                                                                                                                                   
The above is a part of William Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth. Macbeth is shocked to hear of his wife's death and comments on the brevity of life. It refers to how unpredictable and fragile life is.
The title of the poem is an allusion to where macbeth says "Out, out brief candle!"]]> 2018-01-22 15:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/bbubkbh46yav/wish/223359982 Ballad ethancain02 https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/bbubkbh46yav/wish/223375644 The "Ballad of the Alamo" is a song that tells the story of the Battle of the Alamo. ]]> 2018-01-22 15:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/bbubkbh46yav/wish/223375644 Facts about "Casey at the Bat walkerkelsey03 https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/bbubkbh46yav/wish/223415358 "Casey at the Bat" was written in 1888. It was inspired by a baseball game in the last inning. The name "Casey" was picked from one of three people. Although we don't know who it was actually named after, we think it is either an Irish man, Thayer's best friend Samuel Winslow, or a famous baseball player named Mike Kelly. The town, Mudville, was either inspired by a neighborhood in Massachusetts or a town in California. The poem also had many sequels. One of them, made by Disney, was called "Casey Bats Again." Another sequel was written by Grantland Rice and was called "Casey's Revenge." ]]> 2018-01-22 16:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/bbubkbh46yav/wish/223415358 Picture of a comic about "Casey at the Bat" walkerkelsey03 https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/bbubkbh46yav/wish/223423278 2018-01-22 16:42:53 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/bbubkbh46yav/wish/223423278 Watch Me walkerkelsey03 https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/bbubkbh46yav/wish/223427387 2018-01-22 16:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/bbubkbh46yav/wish/223427387 Ernest Thayer Bio moultriedanger https://padlet.com/elizabethjprice/bbubkbh46yav/wish/223449169 Ernest Thayer was born on August 14, 1863, in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
