(前文恕刪) Your analysis is actually quite good, so take my points just as alternatives. Yet before I state my points, there are some stuffs I think you may want to reconsider. 1. some spelling mistakes, be careful not to copy them onto your report 2. You sure the ex-basketball player becomes an idiot? I am not sure if that person with misarranged features is Flick. Overally, I think you may want to compare the three poems' themes and their tones; and the shifting of scenes. On particular ones, like in "Cadence," you may be interested in exploring the description of the poet. Why does he describe only the offense end on the court? Why does he like the Lakers better? What's implied in his attitude toward flesh? Is there connection between the game and the poet's psychological state? In "Athlete," note the use of repetitions and juxtapositions, and the contrast between sound and quiescence. It seems that glory does not stay, but does the poet agree to that? What is the poet's attitude toward time? and the athelete's brief life? In "Ex-," likewise, what's the poet's attitude toward the brief athelete life? Why the poet begins the poem with description of the streets? And why does he delineates the community in detail? (you may want to consider the Flick legend within this question) Why does Flick never learns trade? He does not want to? How does Flick get along with the other people? Hope the questions would help. Good luck. -- For those who are interested in English poetry: 英詩板 --> 雅典娜的神殿 --> 英詩入門 --> 波魯米尼玆幽冥旅 Maybe you will find something interesting. Welcome any discussion on writing. --
