Casey at the Bat
Thursday
Name: _______________________
by Ernest Lawrence Thayer
Ernest Lawrence Thayer wrote “Casey at the Bat” in 1888. The poem was first published in a San Francisco, California
newspaper. It is an amusing poem about a baseball game. “Casey at the Bat” has become very popular over time.
It looked extremely rocky for the Mudville nine that day:
The score stood four to six with just an inning left to play;
And so, when Cooney died at first, and Burrows did the same,
A pallor wreathed the features of the patrons of the game.
A straggling few got up to go, leaving there the rest
With that hope that springs eternal within the human breast;
For they thought if only Casey could get one whack, at that
They’d put up even money, with Casey at the bat.
But Flynn preceded Casey, and so likewise did Blake,
But the former was a pudding, and the latter was a fake;
So on that stricken multitude a death-like silence sat,
For there seemed but little chance of Casey’s getting to the bat.
But Flynn let drive a single to the wonderment of all,
And the much-despised Blaikie tore the cover off the ball;
And when the dust had lifted, and they saw what had occurred,
There was Blaikie safe on second and Flynn a-hugging third!
Then from the gladdened multitude went up a joyous yell,
It bounded from the mountain-top, and rattled in the dell,
It struck upon the hillside, and rebounded on the flat;
For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat.
There was ease in Casey’s manner as he stepped into his place,
There was pride in Casey’s bearing, and a smile on Casey’s face;
And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat,
No stranger in the crowd could doubt ‘twas Casey at the bat.
Ten thousand eyes were on him as he rubbed his hands with dirt,
Five thousand tongues applauded when he wiped them on his shirt;
Then, while the writhing pitcher ground the ball into his hip,
Defiance glanced in Casey’s eye, a sneer curled Casey’s lip.
And now the leather-covered sphere came hurtling through the air,
And Casey stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there;
Close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped:
“That ain’t my style,” said Casey. “Strike one,” the umpire said.
From the benches, black with people, there went up a muffled roar,
Like the beating of the storm-waves on a stern and distant shore;
“Kill him! Kill the umpire!” shouted some one in the stand.
And it’s likely they’d have killed him had not Casey raised his hand.

Thursday
Casey at the Bat (continued)
Name: __________________________
With a smile of Christian charity great Casey’s visage shone;
He stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on;
He signaled to the pitcher, and once more the spheroid flew,
But Casey still ignored it; and the umpire said, “Strike two.”
“Fraud!” cried the maddened thousands, and the echo answered, “Fraud!”
But the scornful look from Casey, and the audience was awed;
They saw his face grow stern and cold, they saw his muscles strain,
And they knew that Casey wouldn’t let that ball go by again.
The sneer is gone from Casey’s lip, his teeth are clenched with hate;
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate;
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey’s blow.
Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has struck out.

Weekend
Paintings around New York get
people talking about fairness in the
world

NEW YORK, N.Y. — A painting on the side of a building shows a woman
wearing a head scarf. On another building, a flock of birds breaks free. In a
different part of the city, a teal gazelle is painted against a black background.
The picture also shows bare trees and a peacock feather.
They are among about a half-dozen large paintings in New York City and Jersey
City, New Jersey. The paintings draw attention to reporter Maziar Bahari and the
group he began.
Bahari spent 118 days in jail in Iran. He was charged with spying after he
appeared on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," a United States television show.
Weekend
Emphasizing Freedoms
Bahari's story was told in Stewart's film "Rosewater." Bahari's group is called Not
A Crime. The group wants Iran to let newspapers publish freely. Iran's
government is anti-Western and does not allow freedom of speech. Newspapers
cannot print news against the government, Islam and other matters.
It also wants the Iranian government to let Baha'i students attend universities.
Baha'i is a religion. Baha'is believe in one God. They emphasize that humans
are equal and that differences among them should be welcomed.
Bahari hopes world leaders will pay attention to the art. Presidents and prime
ministers will be in New York in September for the United Nations General
Assembly, the world government body. He hopes the art will lead them to talk
about human rights.
Reporters Risk Being Sent To Jail
Bahari was working for Newsweek magazine in Iran in 2009. Iranian soldiers
took him from his mother's home in Tehran, the capital of the Middle Eastern
country. He was charged with spying. The charges were based on a video of
him joking on the "Daily Show" about being a spy. In jail, he was beaten, kept in
a cell by himself and treated very badly, he said.
Bahari was released and he left the country. He later was sentenced to more
than 13 years in prison. The charges included spreading false information about
Iran, collecting secret documents and insulting Iran's supreme leader.
Iran has put 30 journalists in prison. It is second only to China in jailing
reporters, says the Committee to Protect Journalists. Cases like those of Bahari
and Jason Rezaian have brought attention to the problem. Rezaian is a
Washington Post reporter who has been held in an Iranian prison for more than
a year on spy charges.
Each Picture Has A Story
The woman in the wall painting is named Atena Farghadani. She is an artist
serving a 12-year sentence in Iran. She created a cartoon that criticized a law.
The painting, created by artist Faith47, shows her without a mouth.
Another artist, Ron English, is painting a picture of a large, official-looking
warning. It will say that photography is not permitted.
Street art gets people's attention he said.
Argentine artist Marina Zumi painted the gazelle. She said she hopes the
painting will lead people to talk about social justice and fairness.
Weekend
Parris Douglas was walking by and went to look at the gazelle Zumi was
painting. He asked her what it was about.
"I feel like this is liberating," he said. "It's the fact we're allowed to express how
we feel with anyone saying or telling us what we can and can't do."

Pinturas en la ciudad de Nueva
York hablan sobre la injusticia en el
mundo
By Lejla Sarcevic, Associated Press on 10.08.15
Word Count 681
En esta imagen del 10 de septiembre de 2015, un mural de la artista Marina Zumi adorna el lado de un
edificio en la ciudad de Nueva York. Photo: AP Foto/Mike Balsamo
NUEVA YORK — En la pared de un edificio hay un dibujo de una mujer con un
pañuelo en la cabeza. Otro edificio presenta un grupo de aves pintadas
liberándose de unas cadenas. Un tercer edificio, en otra parte de la ciudad,
muestra a una gacela azul sobre fondo negro. La acompañan unos árboles sin
hojas y una pluma de pavo real.
Los dibujos forman parte de unas seis pinturas realizadas en Nueva York y
Jersey City, una ciudad de Nueva Jersey. Su propósito es llamar la atención
sobre el periodista Maziar Bahari y su grupo.
Bahari pasó 118 días en una prisión de Irán, el país donde nació. Lo acusaron
de ser espía después de aparecer en "The Daily Show", un programa de
televisión estadounidense presentado por Jon Stewart.
Defienden la educación y el derecho a hablar
La historia de Bahari fue el tema de la película "Rosewater", dirigida por Stewart.
El grupo de Bahari se llama Not a Crime (No es un Crimen) y fue creado para
defender a los periodistas de Irán. En Irán no hay libertad de expresión, lo cual
significa que nadie puede hablar en contra del Gobierno o del Islam, la religión
oficial.
La organización también defiende a los bahaíes, las personas que practican el
bahaísmo. El bahaísmo es una religión que acepta las diferencias y cree que
todas las personas son iguales. El Gobierno de Irán no permite que los bahaíes
estudien en la universidad.
Bahari espera que las obras de arte callejero llamen la atención de los líderes
del mundo. Muchos presidentes y primeros ministros visitarán Nueva York en
septiembre. Irán a la Asamblea General de Naciones Unidas, un grupo formado
por 193 países. Quizá las pinturas los lleven a hablar sobre los derechos
humanos.
Un país donde los periodistas van a la cárcel
En junio de 2009, Bahari trabajaba para la revista Newsweek. Estaba en
Teherán, la capital de Irán, cuando varios soldados se lo llevaron arrestado. El
Gobierno lo acusaban de ser un espía.
Las acusaciones se basaban en un vídeo grabado para "The Daily Show". En la
cinta, Bahari bromeaba sobre ser un espía. El periodista pasó cuatro meses en
prisión, donde lo golpearon, lo maltrataron y lo encerraron solo en una celda.
Cuando salió de la cárcel, se marchó del país. Luego supo que lo condenaron
a otros 13 años en prisión. El Gobierno lo acusó de hablar en contra de Irán,
reunir documentos secretos e insultar al líder supremo del país.
En Irán hay unos 30 periodistas presos. Según el Comité para la Protección de
los Periodistas, China es el único país con un número mayor. Casos como el de
Bahari y el de Jason Rezaian han llamado la atención sobre el problema.
Rezaian es un periodista estadounidense que lleva más de un año en una
prisión de Irán.
Cada edificio cuenta una historia
La mujer pintada en el edificio es Atena Farghadani, una artista iraní
condenada a 12 años de prisión. La arrestaron por hacer un dibujo que
criticaba la ley. La pintura en la pared, creada por la artista Faith47, muestra a
Farghadani sin boca.
La gacela fue pintada por Marina Zumi, una artista argentina. Zumi espera que,
al ver su obra, las personas conversen sobre la justicia social.
Ron English es un artista estadounidense. Está pintando la imagen de un letrero
de advertencia. El letrero dirá que las fotografías están prohibidas. English
piensa que el arte callejero es una buena forma de llamar la atención.
Usan el arte para expresar lo que sienten
Todas estas pinturas se consideran arte urbano. Este tipo de arte nació en
Estados Unidos hace más de 50 años.
Muchas obras de arte urbano llevan mensajes que invitan a la gente a pensar
sobre la injusticia. Eso fue lo que ocurrió con Parris Douglas.
Douglas paseaba por la calle cuando vio la gacela de Zumi y decidió
preguntarle de qué se trataba el dibujo.
"Creo que esto es liberador", dijo. "Es el hecho de que podamos expresar cómo
nos sentimos sin que nadie nos diga lo que podemos y no podemos hacer".
