  7. Let’s take a look at: WRITING A RESPONSE TO A POEM

  8. Execution by Edward HirschThe last time I saw my high school football coachHe had cancer stenciled into his faceLike pencil marks from the sun, like intricateDrawings on the chalkboard, small x's and o'sThat he copied down in a neat numerical handBefore practice in the morning. By day's endThe board was a spiderweb of options and counters, Blasts and sweeps, a constellation of playersShining under his favorite word, Execution,Underlined in the upper right-hand corner of things.He believed in football like a new religionAnd had perfect unquestioning faith in the fundamentals Of blocking and tackling, the idea of warfareWithout suffering or death, the concept of teammates Moving in harmony like the planets — and yetOur awkward adolescent bodies were always canceling.The flawless beauty of Saturday afternoons in September, Falling away from the particular grace of autumn,The clear weather, the ideal game he imagined. And so he drove us through punishing drills On weekday afternoons, and doubled our practice time,And challenged us to hammer him with forearms,And devised elaborate, last-second plays — a flea-Flicker, a triple reverse — to save us from defeat. Almost always they worked. He despised losing And loved winning more than his own body, maybe evenMore than himself. But the last time I saw himHe looked wobbly and stunned by illness,And I remembered the game in my senior yearWhen we met a downstate team who loved hittingMore than we did, who battered us all afternoonWith a vengeance, who destroyed us with timingAnd power, with deadly, impersonal authority,Machine-like fury, perfect execution. “Execution” by Edward Hirsch: Read the poem Discuss the poem Answer the multiple choice questions Write a response that explains not only what the piece is about, but the author’s purpose and how his tone creates a specific mood for the reader that illustrates his theme.

Find another example of text evidence from the piece to support your reason from #2. Explain how this evidence supports your reason. 6. Write a thematic statement that relates to your response to #1. Edward Hirsch uses a ANGRY tone in “Execution” that makes the reader feel ENGERGIZED. The coach’s fight with the player is exciting and makes the reader want to start a fight, too. Everyone has experienced a good fight before and has felt the rush of beating one’s opponent. When the coach is accused of cheating the reader can sense the author’s rage at the referee, and when the coach punches the referee in the face, the reader is excited to see him get what he deserves. “QUOTE” - explanation “QUOTE” - explanation “Execution” teaches readers stand firm behind their beliefs, and after they finish reading it, they feel alive with excited, ready to defend their thoughts and ideas.
