Slam Dunk Hook & Fast Break

To compare and contrast Slam Dunk Hook & Fast Break it would be better (at least for me) to address them item by item, element by element rather than poem by poem. I would address the contrast movement, the imagery used to convey the sence of the game, the use of diction (passion vs. grace), the attitude each speaker hold towards the basketball game, different perspectives, slow pace vs. quick pace, reflection vs. in the moment. It would be very important to recreate the actual experiences each author held towards the game when writing. Moreover, it would be brilliant to reflect the rhymes of each poem- giving a choppiness and then fluidness when presenting each analysis. Finally, the syntax and imagery each speaker presents works to give a different attitude, a different mood and ultimately a different meaning.
