"Roger the Dog" is about a dog who always lays around and falls asleep, and this poem tells about how he does that.
Casey at the Bat" is about a baseball team who lets a batter hit and the batter was Casey, and he strikes out and he gets humiliated.
i chose "Roger the Dog" because it it's always fun to lay around and be lazy.

"Roger the Dog" is about a lazy dog that doesn't do anything except for eating and sleeping.

"Casey At the Bat" is about a baseball player named Casey that isn't very good at baseball, and when the game is tied, he strikes out and all of the fans get angry.

I like Roger the dog because I could understand it better. I also liked it because it doesn't have any repeating parts in it.

"Casey at the Bat" is about a baseball player who is a good batter and the crowd wants him up to bat so after the players before him get to a base Casey suprises everybody by strikeing out.
"Roger the Dog" is about a dog that is lazy and all he does is eat and sleep.
I chose Roger the Dog because I love dogs and I don't like baseball.

JM said...

Casey at the Bat is a poem about a batter who thinks he is the best batter, and the crowd agrees, but he strikes out and his team loses the game.

Roger the Dog is about a dog who is very lazy, and the author of the poem uses a lot of similes to describe him.


I like Casey at the Bat better because Casey is overconfident that he will hit the ball so he lets the first two pitches go but he still strikes out.

casey at bat is about: a man on a base-ball team who is there star hitter and the team needs him to hit the ball but fails. roger the dog is about: this lazy old dog and won't move or any-thing. i pick roger the dog because it: kind've connects with me in a way.

Casey At Bat is about a baseball team that is losing and the crowd wants Casey to play at bat because the crowd thinks he is the best, but Casey strikes out!

Roger the Dog is a about a lazy dog who loves to sleep and saves all of his all of his energy for eating his food!


I like Roger the Dog better because it has easier vocabulary so it was easier to understand and I am not really a baseball fan so it didn't really connect with me.

"Casey at the Bat" is about a man named Casey who plays baseball, and when he goes up to bat he strikes out, and the crowd goes crazy.

"Roger the Dog" is about a dog named Roger, and it talks about what Roger does, and how he's lazy as can be.

I chose "Roger the Dog" because I just thought it was more funny, and it was just a tad bit more entertaining than "Casey at the Bat".

Casey at the bat...
Casey at the bat is about a person who is always counted on to hit the home run of the game, when he all of a sudden gets two strikes and then tries to hit the ball as hard as he can on the second try and he strikes out!
Roger the dog...
Roger the dog is about a dog who doesnt like to do anything, but sit, snore, sleep, and he will only wake to pick at his fleas.

I would choose roger the dog, because i love dogs and my dog is kind of like roger only when my dog(toto) gets up he wags his tail and will play with you and then in the morning he will sleep in untill 8:30. Hehe!

The First Poem, Casey At Bat, was about a baseball player, whom everybody trusted to win, but he failed to do so,

I believe that Roger the Dog told about an old tired dog who is probably too tired to do anything.

I choose Casey At Bat, because the meaning of this poem had me thinking. I believe that everybody should expect the unexpected.

“Casey at the Bat” is about a really good baseball player, but when it was time for him to bat, he chose to show off and he struck out.
“Roger the Dog” is about a dog, which is really lazy, and all he really wants to do is sleep and eat.
I liked “Roger the Dog” because it reminded me of my dog sometimes when she is feeling really lazy on a Saturday afternoon. I also liked it because it rhymed, and because it had a ring to it when you said it.

Dear Mrs Jenkins
I think Casey at bat is about some of the best players don't always get a big hit every single time. Rodger the dog was about a dog that loves dinner and he wipes his dinner dish clean and saves his exercise for eating. I liked Casey at bat because of the message it was giving and that was that you should not just depend on one person to make you win. From Ryan

The poem "Roger the Dog" is about a dog who is always tired and is snoring.

The poem "Casey at the bat is about a baseball team who is down by to runs and they need their famous batter Casey to bat, but he strikes out.

I liked Casey at the bat better because it was a very fun and realistic poem. I also like it besuase it taught me a lesson, you should not always depend on 1 person to win the game for you. You need to work as a team. The poem also had a catchy tune in my head.

the first poem, Roger the dog is about a lasy, old dog who barely moves and saves his energy for eating. The next poem was about a guy named Casey and everyone believed in him and when he goes up to bat he stikes out and the croud does not cheer like always.

I liked both poems but I liked Roger the Dog best becausea ryming poem and it was about a dog and I have a big passion for animals.Also Casey at Bat was a sad poem in the end and I lost intrest in the poem in the beginning of the poem.

IL said...

I think that Casey at the Bat is about how life can be unfair, but not to do things you will regret later on and how when people want you to do something bad to get something, and you do it, you are the one who loses.

I think Roger the Dog is a silly poem about dogs and mostly what they do.

I like Casey at the Bat because I think it has more meaning and I can relate to that feeling where someone is pressuring me to do the wrong thing for a prize or something they could get a part of.

Roger the Dog was about a dog that does nothing, but eats and sleep.

Casey at the Bat, was a baseball team and the crownd was all like put Casey to the plate, and finally got up and he struck out.

I think Casey at the bat was the best because it was why more intresting.

Tf said...

Roger the dog is about a dog that is an expert at sleeping.

Casey at the Bat is about a team that is losing by two points at the end of a baseball game and he is their last chance and he strikes out because he didn't like the balls the pitcher threw.

I like Rodger the dog more because Casey at Bat had to tough of a vocab.

MM said...

I think Casey at the Bat is about how Mudville is losing
and they are at the last inning,so they really think if Casey gets to bat they might win. The people are thinking that the players that hit before Casey are bad at hitting,but when Casey gets to bat he acts all cocky and does not swing at the first two balls and then on the last hit he thinks he is so good and swings but misses.

I think Rodger the Dog is about a old dog named Rodger who is too lazy to play and exercise so he spends a life of eating and sleeping.

I like Rodger the Dog best because I can relate to this, having a lazy who really just eats and sleeps. Except my dog Woody is not as lazy as Rodger.

Roger the dog is about a dog who is lazy all the time. Casey at the bat is about a team who is losing and Casey does not swing two times and then he thinks he is so good he swings but then misses.

I chose Roger the dog because I have a pet who is lazy all the time.
