Hello everybody and welcome to Sheboygan Lutheran where today we have WIA Tournament Action Division 5. Tonight Sheboygan Lutheran will be hosting you on Night of Nation. I'm the coach Chris Wright and joining me is Jeff Razerberg. Marty's in Philadelphia today doing some baseball meetings and things. First of all, Jeff, thanks for joining us tonight. Well, it's my pleasure, Chris. This is quite an honor for me to be here. I hope I can live up to Marty's standards. Well, one of the things I thought about bringing that Jeff in is his wife is a teacher here and his son goes to school and he had a few daughters here. And why don't you talk a little bit about the atmosphere and the way it's been here at Lutheran the entire year. It's just electrified. Lutheran comes in at 19 and four and spent a great year. Well, it's been an awesome year, Chris. The parents are so excited to see their kids be involved in a scenario like this where the team is doing so well. The kids are excited and yet the kids, I think, are trying to keep even keeled and go about their business. Yeah, it's one of those things, too, is you got situations.  You forget about the small schools, but there's a lot of people that have been coming out to these games and Sheboygan North played this afternoon. So there's a lot of basketball people that are here to watch this team play and it should be pretty electrifying. It's just every game is like this, Chris, and as the season has gone on and we're getting into the tournament time, it's just, you can feel the goosebumps in the air. You know, it's exciting. Well, we both talked before tonight, you know, they're playing United Nations, a team that probably most people don't know about. They're a team that comes in 17 and 6. They're an independent team, so they don't really play in a conference. So to really tell how good they are or not good they are is going to be a difficult thing. One thing we do know, I did talk to Coach Decker and he said, maybe our press can work a little bit and Sheboygan Lutheran does have some guards and some players that can put some pressure on people. Oh, definitely, Chris. Our guards are good defenders. They're good three-point shooters. We've got young jerks and Wheeler can shoot the three and of course, Zastral can penetrate and shoot the three. So I think, you know, playing in a tough conference against Usberg and with the excitement and all that pressure during the year, I think they'll be okay. I do too.  I thought Coach Decker did an outstanding job this year, prepping his teams. They played a very strong schedule, you already mentioned, falls. They played Usberg, Cuba City, Racine Lutheran. I mean, they are battle tested, so they are our tournament ready. I think we're ready to go, Chris. I'm excited. You never know what's going to happen, so you have to keep yourself under control and hope for the best. Now, one thing we haven't mentioned yet, some guy by the number one or something, Sam Decker, a really good basketball player going to the University of Wisconsin next year.  He wants to get to that state tournament, and I think each game is important for Sam too. Oh, I agree. You know, I've been watching Sam play since he was in sixth grade, and through the years, what always impresses me is he's a pretty unselfish player. And at the same time, he's got the skills to dominate a game. His attitude about the game and about his players in the school, it's pretty amazing. It really is. Well, with that, we had some pretty good comments. When we return, we'll have the starting line-ups for tonight's game. Yeah. You know, your charger's still using energy when it's plugged into the wall, right? Yeah, but that's not my charger. I don't even have a cell phone. The kids are using their energy wisely. What's your excuse? With video games, I'm always choosing between what my kids want and what I think is best for them. Hey, Mom, how about this one? Which is why I love these new rating summaries. They let me know exactly what's in the game. Combat, explosions, two female warriors exposed, Cleavage. Uh, maybe the other one's better.

Just one of the many ways PTA can help enrich your child's learning experience and life. Join us today, PTA, Every Child, One Voice. Welcome back, everybody. The United Nations Thunderhawks are now being introduced. They're going to have Anthony Cornelius. He's number five. He is a senior. Number 15, as a junior, is Mike Mills. Number 22 is another junior, Davante Pointer. 23 is Comachi Jordan. He leads the squad. He's 6-4, and he's got 13.6 points a game. And rounding out the starting lineup for the United Nations, number 24, Jojo Santiago. The United Nations just has eight players this year on their squad, so we'll see how that works out in a game if there's a lot of fouls, but that's the way you see. And here come your CLC champion Crusaders from Sheboygan Lutheran. The big man in the middle there, number 35, Nick Rediker, is a 6-4 senior. Tyler Zastrow, second leading scorer. Tyler Zastrow, 15 points a game. The other sophomore in the starting lineup is number 23, Phil Leipholm, 6-2 senior. As Jeff mentioned in the opening, likes to shoot some threes, Josh Wheeler. And rounding out the starting lineup will be Sam Decker. Came the sixth all-time leading scorer in the state. He's averaging 32.5 points. And for those of you just joining us, Marty's in Philadelphia. Got Jeff Razerberg here. Had some kids go to school here. Had the current son and his wife also teach us here. At first I've been noticing that Lutheran likes to try to get the ball to Sam on the dunk early after the tip. So if the ball goes to Zastrow, see if I can get it to Sam underneath right away. The United Nation comes off of a victory over Niagara, 45-30. In a 16 versus 1 seed game, Lena came here the other night and got pounded, 83-37. But every step of the ladder to the state tournament gets a little tougher. We'll see how Lutheran steps up tonight. Lutheran gets the first crack. See Jojo Santiago's on Decker. There's Wheeler number five. Seems like on the first possessions all year, Jeff, that Lutheran really is patient on offense. And then after that it kind of changes. We're going to get a turnover right off the bat. I think they like to get and run a little bit to get out of their patient mode. Right away Lutheran's going to come out and put some pressure on the United Nation. With only eight players, maybe that would wear him down. And if their guard plays not as strong, this could be the key. 24, that's Jojo Santiago. Comachi Jordan's number 23. He's their leading scorer. Let's watch him. That's Mills going off the bank and in. In Warwick's Chris, Mills look very fluid and limber. Very athletic. That's up his first foul. That coach for the United Nation is Scott Murray. Sam gets an opportunity to make some free throws and he hits the first one. Ties up the game at two. Pressure by Zastrow. On pointer. Once you're trying to get to the basket, cut off by Zastrow. Reddick are playing the D on Mills. I think Cheboyon Lutheran plays really good D, Jeff. Part of their success. They saw a shot attempt by Santiago, goes off. I believe Leipholms pause there. Another key for Lutheran, of course, is Decker's rebounding. Just really helps to flow their offense between the fast break. Keeps them moving. They keep pressure on the guards outside and help him to get the boards on missed shots. Well, United Nation being very patient on this possession. They get a reach and foul there. I think they're going to get Nick Reddicker on his first personal. One foul piece. Early on, 6.17 in the first quarter. Two to two is our score and there's a turnover by the United Nation. Here's Leipholm right to the rack and he's fouled by Jojo Santiago. And again, Lutheran will be at the free throw line. The block didn't look too bad for us, but it must have got enough of the body and the arm at the same time. I know these officials are from Fond du Lac and I thought that all WI tournament games would have three officials, but I see we only have two tonight. A one of two trip for Leipholm makes it three to two. Vante Ponter over to Jordan. Big hands of Decker got a hand on there and now it does go out of bounds and there's the second turnover now. First I've been watching Leipholm play defense on Jojo and he's just face guarding him off the ball tight wherever he is, not sagging into the middle. I think that's part of what they want to do is make him work to get the ball. Very interesting match up there as you see the much smaller Santiago on the 6-8 Decker. There's a nice rebound by Reddicker off the Decker miss and I think we're getting a third foul now on the United Nation. I think that's going to be number two on Santiago. And as we mentioned before, Jeff, one thing they cannot do is get in foul trouble because they just have a lot of guys. Leipholm on the trigger. Reddicker, Wheeler, Leipholm, the swing to Leipholm, dumping the Decker. Almost automatic. There you see a good shot of Todd Decker. Very successful career here at Lutheran, both as a JV and Varsity coach. And we're going to get a time out by United Nation. It's going to be a 30 second time out, Jeff. And obviously getting United Nation in foul trouble is going to help Lutheran later on, Jeff. Oh, definitely. I think that's the reason they took their time out right now, Chris, is to calm down and try to regroup and stop the bleeding. At this rate it doesn't look too good if they continue to fall. We mentioned before that they are an independent team. They don't play in a regular league. They did play Green Bay West twice. It is part of the classic conference, but West is not a very good basketball team. They split with them, but I'm sure they don't play the players of the caliber of Sam Decker and Vastro and these type players. This is a pretty good Lutheran squad. There's a good shot of Coach Murray. But another missed free throw for Lutheran. They really struggled in that game against Ozaki at the free throw line, and right away here they're 50%, three of six, and they've got to be better in the tournament. Down the line. It makes you wonder if they're a little tight or what the problem is. They're worried. It's relaxing. Make a shot. This is Mills. Shot off and missed. Lypom with the rebound. Wheeler on a bust out should be too easily, and it is. It's nice to see Wheeler get up on that layup. I know in track season he's a six-foot high jumper, so he does have the ups. There's a tip they do by Santiago. It doesn't fall. Reddicker and Wheeler battling for the rebound, and Lypom gets the stat there instead. There goes Lypom easily down the middle of the lane and scores. That's Lypom's game, Chris. If he gets to be slashing to the basket, it really helps the movement of the ball for Lutheran. That's an interesting play there off the head, and it's going to be a... Chipped ball, Chris. Official... Because they hit his head? Oh, my. I don't know about that. He's been there for a while. That ends the 7-0 run by Lutheran, and we're going to get a block. I don't know how. But that's going to be the first foul on Zastrov. Second team foul on Shaboyan Lutheran. He has to call it like he sees it. Lypom wide open. Dekker. Skyscour gets the rebound off the Lypom miss. There's Lypom. Second chance. Bingo. Very nice. He gets to watch Sam's eyes. He was looking for that all the way, Chris. Lypom found the open spot and Sam hit him. Jeff has the sophomore ready to come in for Lutheran. We're at the 3-37 mark. It's 9-5 Lutheran. There's an outside shot there by Cornelius, and he bangs it home. Missed by Lutheran on this end. 9-8 our score. 3-13 left. Jordan number 23, leading scorer yet to score for the United Nation. There's Ponter with a wide open off the screen of Mills. Bangs off there. Dekker with another big rebound. He should control the boards all night. Back to Sam. Swing to Zastrov. This one's up. And good. 3-3. As soon as Sam got that rebound, he's looking down the court right away. Phone wheeler on the wing and swung it right over Zastrov. 12-8 now. Two and a half minutes in the first quarter. Jojo San Diego trying to swing it to Mills. It takes the jumper. It's off the rim and another Dekker rebound. Two guys underneath. Rettiker. Good. Good passing by Dekker. And we get another turnover on the United Nation. That's three I have for them, Jeff. I think that's right, Chris. All that life-hom's coming out. It makes you think that Dekker is wanting to keep pressure on 24 on Santiago. Diego Matoxin comes in for the United Nation. He wears number 12 wheeler with the easy basket. Right off the screen. And all this leads 16-8 and Sam's only got two points. Yes. Well, he's got a number of assists. He's looking for the open man. Reach in on Hess. Yep, because you didn't get the rebound, I think, there. And Mills right there to clean up the garbage. There's a poke in there by Hess. 13 follow on Lutheran. This is a free throw and another Dekker rebound. 16-10 our score. Dekker at the circle swings it to wheeler. Trying to feed it into Rettiker who's got a big size advantage over Santiago who also has some foul situations. Looks like some type of zone here may be played by the United Nation. It is. You've got to keep swinging it and they do over to Zastrow. And you know that one's up. It couldn't get it, but a nice rebound by Hess. Back to Zastrow. You know he's going to shoot. Oh, basket doesn't want it. It was it and it came out. Good offensive attack there by Lutheran. Too bad they couldn't get any points. I know Lutheran hasn't seen many zones this year. And they're handling it pretty well, Chris. I think Sam knows he's got to look across court, look underneath, find that open hole in the back of the zone. Now it looks like a 1-3-1 and it's a chippy foul there by Mike Mills. Third foul. Five team fouls. Third personal foul and we were just under a minute of the first quarter and that is not a good thing for the United Nation. Oh, he's pretty visibly upset about it. And like I said, when you just have eight players, that's just going to make it over a long period. I think that's just going to hurt, Jeff. Take up Gerst in the game. The freshman needs a third leading score. He comes in at 8.6 points a game as a nice three-point shot and is really improved as the year goes on. There it is. Gerst from an outside miss, but that's going to be awesome. Cornelius there and of course Jacob Stads, a very successful cross country coach here. And state titles and things that a lot of people don't know about, but the cross country squads have been really good out here and there Sam gets a couple. Yeah, Jeff Gerst, he does a good job building energy and enthusiasm with his runners. My son has run two years for Jeff and just loves Jeff. He believes in what he's got to say. Part of the curriculum out here is, as juniors, they take Christian leadership and Jeff teaches that course. They get to know him pretty well as a Christian, which is what the main purpose of Lutheran High is, is to teach our kids to be Christian leaders. He's a good guy. Jake is a good defender. He's fairly quick. Can shoot that three? Well, it's time for him out of the quarter. He saw a long shot there by Cornelius. Now we're going to get another foul and if this one's on Santiago, he's got three fouls. And it is. This could be over quickly as the fouls are mounting into the game as Michael Cornelius. He's just a freshman. He's averaging 3.7 points a game. The two of the big leaders for the Thunder Hawks are now on the bench with three fouls. You know, they weren't really good fouls either. A lot of them were just, you know, bumps and stuff you can't do. That's a buzzer. That's a missus. And that ends the first quarter with Luther Winnie 18 to 10. We'll be back in a moment. It takes more than perfect balance. More than a great pair of legs. More than a good sword. It takes more than just talent. More than the will to win. It takes you. It takes your donations to support the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic teams. And now you can donate on Facebook. He's done it! The U.S. has done it! Support the U.S. Olympic team on Facebook. And donate to make Olympic dreams come true. Some people might think that Adrien would never be able to go to college like his brother or achieve his dream of being an actor. We couldn't disagree more. We're the ARC. And we believe everyone should have the opportunity to realize their full potential. The ARC stands up for those in need. Advocating for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I want to be a professional actor. So they can be anything they want to do.

Mike Martin's doing some baseball work in Philadelphia. We're happy to bring you the broadcast tonight. The Night of Nation with six follows. The unfortunate thing for that and that first quarter for them is two of them are on the two guys. So they have two of their starters on the bench. And we'll see if Luther can kind of break this one open here early in the second quarter. Good swing passes against this zone. That should help keeping the United Nation out of follow trouble. Leipholm drives it, kicks it out to Zastrow. He shoots from three-point range. Bingo. Starting to feel it. Chris, it looks like Leipholm mixed up their zone a little bit from the end of the first quarter. But Luther is able to move the ball. Here's a pick by Leipholm. Another turnover by the United Nation. Zastrow in. And good. Just like that, it's 23 to 10. And a timeout for the United Nation. And a very impressive start for Samoan Lutheran. It's a full timeout with that. We'll take a quick break. Have you heard? Scam artists are trying to trick seniors into giving them their Medicare numbers. I heard that. This happened to my friend. A man came to her door wanting to sign up for the new Medicare program. Well, when she got her Medicare summary notice it was full of charges for services she hadn't received. So I did something about it. I joined the senior Medicare patrol where I teach others to protect their Medicare numbers, review statements to spot false charges and report suspected. There you see us there. See you look just as good. Better on TV than in real life. It's all the cameras and stuff to make us look better. Oh, yeah. I'm liking it, Chris. I'm liking it. Lutheran's guards play with Leipholm and Zastrow defending the ball. They're pretty good defenders. They can pick them. As Oneida has to go to their bench it might be they're really going to have to work to get the ball where they want it in rhythm. Hey, there's a basket off the timeout for Oneida. A desperately needed one that cut the lead to 23 to 12. There's Sam. That was a very nice shot. Number five. Sam and the paint gets two more. Sam's up to seven points now. 25 to 12. Good defense by Lutheran. I'm the Oneida Nation. I'm just trying to get to the second half and try to stay within 10, 12 points because two starters on the bench they're going to be... Tough Hill to climb. Yeah, and Sam is guarding their leading scorer. They're both kind of winded. I'll say this to another pick. I have five turnovers now. Sam Decker with an easy two. That's got to be a little disheartening if you're in the United Nations. Yep, and a nice hard screen. Another turnover. Yep. Another slam. Oh my. That's all I can say about that one. 29 to 12. And another timeout to the United Nations. They're going to use that up quickly at the yellow... What are they going here? Fuller 30 here. It's going to be a full timeout. With the score, 29 to 12. We'll take a quick break. Close. We are this close. We're making these two. This close to changing the world. We are this close. This close to making sure no child suffers a crippling disease. We are this close to ending polio. We are this close to ending polio. She is you. She is you. This close. Be a part of history at rotary.org. 15 minutes left in the first quarter. Morgan Lutheran is setting the tone for the entire sectional. Chris, the United Nations is getting the wind knocked out of their sails. If they're not careful, it's going to fall apart from here in the hurry. Very good decision, I think, here to bring Santiago back in the game. I bring one of my starters back with three fouls. I hope he doesn't get that fourth. What's the point of them sitting on the bench and we're down by 30 to half? They're trying to take a chance and just advise them not to foul. Absolutely. Otherwise, it's going to be too late and the game's over. You've got to try to do something. Now that got Zastro guarding on San Diego earlier, it was Leipam. Tyler just got to get his hands off him. He had good footwork there, but don't be, you know, hand checking him. Move those feet and get a poke there. And there is another poke and another turnover, which we thought would be a problem for the United Nation. Chris, we talked earlier before the game about Lutheran's attitude and were they able to stay calm or were they going to be nervous about being in this position and you can just see that they're out there playing basketball and they're pretty confident with how they play. The winner of this game plays on Monday night against Goodman Pembein, be in this place. Decker, he's got Leipam on the side. Look out below. Sam looking for a foul there. Thought he got one. Another turnover by the United Nation. Oh, my. Oh, it's like practice. Yep. Yep. And up. Jerse joins in in the fun. Jacob Jerse getting his two points of the ball game. Rebound by Jerse. Over to Decker. Freshman stepping in there. Leipam cleanly knocked away by Michael Cornelius, the freshman. Nice hands. Nice hands. Because of the snow, tonight should have been, you know, the next step in that game, but unfortunately for Luther, they have to be playing on Monday. Decker from way downtown misses Zastrow with the rebound, tries a flip to Zastrow, picked up by Wheeler, back to Zastrow. He doesn't like to give it up. And they're going to get him for a gravel. He's looking to draw the foul and I think he dragged his foot a little bit, waiting for the contact. Jerse coming back into the, excuse me, has coming back into the lineup. First, it's interesting that the winner of this game is going to be playing a team that is a first year co-op team. Last year, they were two, two independent schools, both with total enrollments under 90. So they combined in a co-op this year. So I think that by this time of the year, they should be gelling a little bit, getting used to each other. And the turnovers are mounting. Decker with behind the, behind the back pass to Leipholm. Leipholm likes to go hard to the basket. Leipholm going to shoot some free throws here. And they make one here. Running her back in the game for Hess. Luther is still pretty small. Three guards out there. Luther now five of eight from the line. Now 35 to 12 with three and a half minutes left in the first half. It's been all Lutheran after the first basket by the United Nation. Follow troubles really hurt them. Why not? Shoot it up. But he stepped on the line, I think. He did. It's going to be another turnover, the tenth turnover for the United Nation. And now coming into the game is Nathan Haasenstein. Coming in for Chirst. Nathan Haasenstein has come up from the JV for the tournament. His first man off the bench for the JV group on Tuesday night. First man off the bench again tonight. Most people don't know that Chamoig and Luther in the last couple of years have had some pretty nice JV teams. And so they're battle tested and ready for this year to join Sam and Nick. And a basket there by Sam as we speak. Sam now with just 13 points. I say just, but for most people, you know, that's a good game. When you're averaging 32. Right. And Sam's doing a really good job against that zone again, looking for the open man on the weak side. Well, Santiago takes it right to the basket. That looked good. Under control, later up soft off the board. That ended a 12-0 run. Chirst with another basket makes it 39-14. He got hammered on top of the head on that one. And Jordan Nation was lucky to not get another foul call. That's Comanche Jordan, a leading scorer. He has yet, uh-oh, a nice easy one there by Sam. Sam showing a little class on that. Don't need to embarrass our opponents and just a nice easy dunk and another turnover. Jordan, I was commencing by United Nations yet to score. He's averaging 13 points again. And that could have been the fourth foul right there, a mugging. But they're not going to call that. And it's going to be a turnover on Lutheran. Cornelius with the missed Decker with another rebound. They're trying to slow things down. And a 30-second timeout. Coach Decker talking in the referee. I think voicing his opinion that Asenstein did get mugged. Michael Schuyler and Devonte Ponte are coming in for the United Nation. 27-point lead for Lutheran. And we thought with the foul trouble of things that this just might happen. We talked about the turnovers. And United Nations really struggling to take care of the ball. And Lutheran is talented enough when they get that turnover. They know how to get into the basket. They were talking about Sam's attitude towards the game and the fact that that last dunk he could have gone in and dunked it any which way he wants to. But he just put it in the hole and went about his business playing basketball. It's nice to see Chris. Light Palm, number 11. Ben Light Palm, a 6-4 junior. Jers slings over to Asenstein. As he pulls it out. Asenstein from way downtown and he contributes. How about that? Look good. Doesn't matter who shoots it up there. They're going in for the team in the green. And there's a screen by Schuyler that, you know, has Asenstein's teammates got to help them out there. Definitely. Call the screen. Cornelius with a feedback shot there by Pointer. It's missed. Another reload. Guys are all over the floor. Pointer with a... Yeah, and another turnover. Couple opportunities for the Thunder Hawks but they won't go in. Down to 15 seconds and a half. Lutheran by 30. Coach Decker runs a play call here. Light Palm with a sling to Jers at the top and it's off the board. Asenstein with about a temp but it's knocked away. Jers, it's going to be no good. And at the end of first half play Shaboy and Lutheran, 44. The United Nation, 14. Look a howler monkey in the eye. Friday nights are delicious. We finished a clinic and are in a rainstorm. Really? My students actually ended up teaching me in La Queg, Alakine. Think managing a sales team is tough. I went with five different villages. After two months I was ready to quit but after two years, I didn't want to leave. I didn't know I had it in me. Turn two years of service into a lifetime of experience. To all the Peace Corps volunteers past, present and future. Thank you for your service to your country and... I'm Owen Yeoman for Peter. I used to eat a lot of meat. Like a lot of people, I never really gave it much thought. But then I saw how violently animals raised for food are treated and I didn't want to support that. The fact that the meat on my plate was once a living, breathing creature became something I could no longer ignore or justify as food. So I stopped eating meat. Just like that. And my body and my conscience feel healthier for it. I'm Owen Yeoman and I'm a vegetarian. We're back at Lutheran High where you can see Shabuigan Lutheran leads by 30. Leading scores in the first half for the United Nation. Jojo Santiago with five. Anthony Cornelius with five. And Mike Mills with four. Comenci Jordan, their leading score at 13 points in the game, got the donut. For Shabuigan Lutheran, they were led by Sam Decker. He had 14. He and Tyler, or excuse me, yeah, Tyler Zastrow went on a roll for a while. Zastrow ended up with 10. Josh Wheeler had four. Jacob Jerse, four. Phil Leipholm had five. Nick Redeker two. And Jeff Hesse, or excuse me, not Jeff Hesse, Nathan Haas-Estein hit that three to round out the scoring for Lutheran. And Jeff, well, United Nations in trouble. I think they are, Chris. I think they're going to have to put their starters back in and see if they can make a goal of it. And down 30 at the half with only 14 points, it doesn't look too good. I think they have to be pretty dejected and hard to believe that they're going to come out and win this game. There you see Jeff Razerberg and myself. Mike Martin is in Philadelphia today. So Jeff, thanks again so much for coming out. I know you probably would have been here anyways. That's true. And I appreciate the opportunity, Chris. It's a little nerve-wracking, but at the same time it's fun. And if you can see in the background, and there you also see, you can watch us online on demand. And there's the site to see that. As you can see in the background, a lot of yellow shirts. They hand out shirts to the fans and things they, which is very nice. It's almost state tournament-like. And that's hopefully the goal of this squad is to get to the big show in Madison. And to make matters worse, Lutheran's going to start with the ball. Decker easily could have taken it to the basket that time, but he decides to pull it out. Zastro to Wheeler. I think if you're Lutheran, you just kind of want to run some offense here and get a little more, I guess you could see, you know, instead of practicing against each other, against somebody well, and just hit your spot to cover all the screens well. Right, right. You know, that's always a scary thing when you come out of your game to work on something different or try to hold back a little bit, that you run into some problems. I see Leipholm coming up a little limpy.  And there was a easy miss there by Lutheran and the United Nations. Comes back here down by 30. Seven minutes left, third quarter. Winner of this game will play Goodman Pembein on Monday. And there was a air ball there by Jordan. And there's a turnover by Mills. And unofficially, I have 13 turnovers on the United Nations Thunderhawks. Looks like a young fan keeping score along with us. Chris, it's interesting that Goodman Pembein, their first year as a co-op team, prior to this year, they both had their own school. One went to the regional finals and one had 13 wins. And I think when you come by a team like that, it's going to be a struggle for them early in the year. But by tournament time, they shouldn't be coming together. So it will be an interesting game. I'm assuming Lutheran is going to win. Maybe I shouldn't be saying that. And obviously Coach Decker doesn't like something. It's a full timeout. So with that timeout, we'll take a quick break. Lutheran 44, the United Nations, 16. I have my own problems to worry about. Those people in Africa don't want to help themselves. What's the point? Where's the proof? Actually, SMART programs are saving lives. In just 10 years, over 15 million more kids are alive. All plus than 1% will totally be with budget. How's that for proof? And today there are new vaccines that could save millions of more kids. Go to 1.org and join the movie. We're not asking for your money. We're asking for your voice. That's how an injury can happen. Yeah, we're just discussing. Coach Decker just wants to make sure the boys play well. One thing about Goodman Pembein, they play a common opponent. They play colder in their opening game and pretty much mushed them 65 to 38. The Bombers not having a good year this year. Chris, they did play Lena early in the year in a tournament. And it was about a 12 to 15 point game. Victory for Goodman Pembein. But then again, there's that early in the year scenario again. Yep. Decker from way downtown and he bangs in a three. Nice comfortable rhythm shot. A little step back jumper. 17 now for Sam. Pretty special player, Sam Decker. Something he's going to have to be able to do at the next levels. Be able to shoot that three pointer, especially in Bull Ryan's system. Great. There's a block by Hess. Here comes Mills down Main Street. No good Decker with a rebound. And in a close game, might have outlaid it. But instead, this brings it down. It's another three misses. Mills with the tip goes over to Cornelius. 47-16. Jordan number 23. Comachi Jordan, their leading scorer with just two points. They're still running their circle motion. Here's a three point attempt by Cornelius. It's missing Hess with the rebound. Outlitch it over to Leipholm. Leipholm to Wheeler. He hasn't even attempted a three pointer tonight. And he's a good three point shooter. Little turn around basket.  You better take the shot. Reddaker with four now. That could have been a turnover. And it is. Double dribble. Fourteen turnovers now. Hess, excuse me, Jerse in tells Hess to stay. And Decker is going to take a seat.  And up on my screen today, it popped up that today is Jake's 15th birthday, just 15 years old playing in a varsity. Yeah, doesn't look a day over 14. Now Nick Reddaker's got to make that shot. Missed that one there, but most of the time he'll put that one in. And there's a hand check by Reddaker. He's the first foul in the second half and it comes with a 4-22 mark. 49-16, the second personal on Nick Reddaker. That's a good point to have the first foul with four minutes left. So the United Nation is doing a better job, but they're not getting any closer to where they need to be. Unfortunately not. Shot attempt and an offensive rebound. And a putback working on his stats. It's Jordan. He's up to four points now, way off his average of 13. Zastrow and Decker at the table waiting to come in the game. Jurst to Leipholm. Trying to get some drive penetration, but the United Nations seems to be cutting it off. A little tip-on-a-bounce there by Pointer. Chris, like you said earlier, now's the time to settle down and work on a solid offense, on things that you want to do. They're pretty patient on that. Penetration and dish and see what's out there. Those things change a little bit with Zastrow and Decker out there though. Zastrow trying to create some space there. Running a little weave action here. Running some clock. And then the back cut by Jurst. Oh, and he missed the bunny layup. Won't get an easier opportunity than that. And Jacob would like to have that one back. You could see Zastrow as soon as he started going to the hole. He was looking for that cutter. 44 to 14 at the half. Both teams kind of struggling to start the third here. But this guy's not. He's got six points now. All here in the second half. But it's a little bit too late as they find themselves down by 29. I believe the United Nations came up about two years ago and played the Kohler Lutheran Christian football team. So I've seen them before. There was a miss there by Jurst who got... hammered a little bit, no call. And there wasn't much room for him to go up with that shot. Cornelius on a swing and got Hess off his feet. And goes off of Hess there. Phil Leipholm coming back in the game. Six foot sophomore. As is number 55, Oscar Steiler. He's already given a couple of big screams. Yes, he has. He's made his presence felt. Literally. I think Nate Hasenstein's back. Right into that stream. There's Mills with a nice jumper but he just misses Reddicker with a rebound. Nice strong rebound by Reddicker. Good pass to Leipholm and he gets tripped. And he's down at the 10. I think he got a knee in the hip or the thigh. When my wife and I, we often comment, Phil is always on the floor. At least once or twice a game, if not more. He just goes harder to the basket. Yeah. Those are the little things that, you know, successful teams need to do. You know, he's not going to get his 8, 10, 12 points a game.  He is averaging just five points a game. But, you know, the defense and the scrapping hustle, doesn't always show up in the box. No, no. And his defense at that point guard position or at that two guard position there again, he just forced the turnover. Pretty valuable for Luther tonight. Putting pressure on the ball. The United Nation wasn't able to handle it very well. And that's a valuable role. Especially when you have Sam Decker on your team and when you have Zastrow and you have other guys that can score. It takes the pressure off you. You can concentrate on what you can do. That'll be the fourth ball there on Santiago as Decker goes to the basket and scores. Let's see if Sam can knock down the free throw. Nice free throw attempt for Lutheran and another miss. Mid and a half left. Not a lot of scoring here in the third quarter. As Lutheran is trying to run a little clock. Showing a little class. They lead 51 to 20. Cornelia is just a freshman there. Throws it away. And Sam just retreats it. Looking to make a pass. Oh, Reddicker could have cut it. Maybe it was something there. Zastrow going down Main Street and the old left-hander puts her in. Just a six-point quarter for the United Nation. They struggle on offense against this tough Lutheran D. As we run down to 42 seconds in the third quarter. There's a bump by Leipholm and I think they're going to get that one in. And Phil kind of nods his head like, yeah, I know. Ben in for Sam and Hazy comes back in. Nathan Hasenstein number 12. Well, also into the lineup. Ryan Shealy into the lineup. But I'm sure we're going to see a full load of substitutions in the fourth quarter. I would think so, yes. Ryan Shealy, brother to Ashley Shealy, leading scorer for Lutheran girls team. Hey, and a three-pointer there by Anthony Cornelis. Ryan is going through a nice growing spurt. He's just really gotten taller, stronger. He's a good player. His grandpa is our resident photographer. Oh. And it's also his birthday today. Oh, wow. And with 10 seconds left, Lutheran kicks it out of bounds. Saved a turnover on the United Nation as they didn't look so sharp on that exchange. No. I think the pressure of the defense has been wearing them down. I think they're doing as best they can now to just get, try to score any which way they can. Postal a five-second. He hit a three a minute ago, and he kicks another one. Anthony Cornelis. How about that, young man? He's made some really nice shots today, Chris. That's those misses at the buzzer. But that's the end of three-quarters of the play. You see Sheboygan Lutheran in 55. United Nation, 26. I've been on the street for a while. I've been on the street for a while. I saw your poster outside. I saw your poster outside. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. National Runaway Switchboard, how can I help? Call 1-800-RUNAWAY to make the connection. Best sex I've ever had. The details are kind of fuzzy, but I know it started off in the kitchen because there were definitely mashed potatoes involved. Her leg was like here, and her head was like here. I still don't know how a human body could do that. I think she used to be in a circus or something. But the most important part about the best sex I've ever had was that it was consensual and it was protected. Very crazy three days, though. Lutheran High, we have one-quarter of play. Jeff Fraserberg joining myself, Chris Wright. I want to thank the crew for coming out on a Saturday night. Game, I love tournament action, and I got some schools in Sheboygan and do some things. We got North Lutheran and the North Girls all very high seated, so hopefully they'll make a good tournament run. And I'll tell you, Comanche Jordan's finding his little zone here. Zero points in the first half. He's up to eight here. Cuts the deficit to 55-28, and Sam gets in there deep on Skyler. And I didn't think anyone could knock him down. Well, I think when you're reaching behind you to try to block a guy who's going over the top of you, you'll lose your balance a little bit, Chris. I think that was it. There you see a nice picture of Sam. Nice free throw there, Sam. Game should be here Monday night. We're not sure if we'll be here or not. Light palms just working them up the floor, and there's that stream by Skyler. You know, who's ever got Skyler should be calling that out. Rettiker should be going, screen, screen, screen. Absolutely. Because otherwise that's what happens. I think one of the changes this fourth quarter, now Sam is guarding Comanche, where the third quarter, I think Wheeler was guarding him for a while, and Rettiker took turns on him, and now they put Sam back on him. And down Main Street goes Jojo Santiago. Good recovery by Light Palm. 57-30, minute play into the fourth. Decker tight. Missed it. Rettiker with the rebound. Another one he missed in Skyler. Skyler's going. Very nice. Good shot attempt there by Santiago. Goes off. I'll tell you what, Jeff. United Nation came in here a little under-manned and playing a very good team, but I'll tell you what, they're showing a lot of class and battling all the way to the end. I know the score is 57-30, but... Got a lot of hearts. Yes, yeah. You're right, Chris. I think the fall trouble they got into took a little wind out of their sails, but they're fighting. They're not giving up. And I thought Lutheran's been very classy and, you know, easily they could have run up the score. They just had an 11.3 quarter. They passed with a basket. And it's not a bad idea to get some of these starters. There you see Mike Theobald. And Coach Decker, Reddiker doing his bubblegum blowing thing. But give these Lutheran kids some rest because they got two days to rest. And they got to go again. Gordon might get to his average at the rate he's going. Got 10. Hes feeling it. Way off to the right, though, there. Everything looked good but the shot. I don't think he quite had to handle on the ball that he wished he had. You know, Chris, that Monday night game, that's a difficult game.  First day back at school. Mondays are always tough at school. Different day to play. You don't normally play on Mondays. No, although Lutheran has had a couple of games on Mondays this year. That might help them, but it can be a whole different feel. Good decision there by Decker. And coming in is Matt Gumm, the senior. Here comes big Mike Mills also back in the game. Five-minute mark. This is Devante Pointer. The senior Gumm on him. Gumm had a couple big shots on his senior day here. Couple threes, couple weeks back. And another turnover. There's too many turnovers by the United Nation. I have 17 for them. Yeah, Matt Gumm, he's another one of those players who has heart, does his role, accepts his role. Knows the offense, knows what to do. Trying to alley-oop to Sam. An opportunity for Jurst to garden the point. Another turnover by United Nation. There's Leipholm. Sam Decker, number one. Good hands by Mills there, number 15. See, and this is why you don't want Sam Decker in the game with four minutes. You just got raked across the nose. Yeah, and Skyler coming in for Mills. And that'll be Mike Mills, fifth foul. And back into the game is Oscar Skyler. Some of the chance for a couple free throws. And I missed a basket by Lutheran before. I stopped keeping track, Chris. Sam with a one-of-two trip there. 60. Coming in will be Hasenstein and Leipholm. I would imagine Leipholm will be coming in for Sam as he has earlier. Yeah, and Leipholm for Leipholm will be coming in. I would think that Phil will be coming out as well. There's a shot by Skyler and he's going home. Ben Leipholm is the lone junior on the team, Chris. Tuesday night's game he had a breakaway and had a dunk for his first dunk of the year. Really? It was exciting. Wow. Timeout by Lutheran to get the subs and probably a good idea here. 60.34. That must have been exciting. It was tremendously exciting. Another Facebook moment, of course. It's the world we live in today. Oh, yep. Facebook, Twitter. Sure. Winner of this game plays Monday night. Goodman, Penman, and obviously it's going to be Sheboygan Lutheran. And hopefully you get a big crowd here like we have tonight. I mean, like I said, I was at the North game before and a lot of basketball people were going to come out here. There's the Coucher boys. J. Les Tuske. Glenn Sager. Glenn Sager there. Yep. Scott Pulse. Yeah, there's Scott Pulse. It's done played here. Taylor a couple years back. Had this game been played last night. But there was a rumor that Tommy Thompson was going to be in the stands last night. And obviously with the weather. Yep. And I'm sure a tough schedule for him. He was not able to come tonight. Jacob Gerstow in here. We have basically all substitutes for Sheboygan Lutheran in here. There's Hess. Jacob Ames thinking about coming into the game. Nice JV player this year to 6-3 sophomore. 4-34 he'll be checking in in a minute. Jumped one into jerse. Could have hit light bomb on the cut. But we'd rather have Hess shoot. Rebound light bomb. Off the back of the rim and in. Nice shot. Nice soft shot over the top of the rim. Jacob Ames has had a nice season. He's developing a nice outside shot as a big man. It's been a long Lutheran tradition here. It's a nice shot of Ben there. Wiesman with that shot. Cameraman under the basket. I don't know how he always stands under there without getting blown over by somebody but another turnover by the United Nation with 2 minutes left. Lutheran's pushing and light bomb is shooting and it's missed. Under 2 minutes Chris. Yep. After this game I'll have a few interviews with a couple of the victorious Lutheran players. Skyler doesn't know what to do with it and unfortunately they didn't want to call the 5 second call but I think they had to. That's a good opportunity to get some more players in the game. Cody Fenzelman coming in as is Taylor Zastrow who also had a nice JV season this year. Yes. In for Matt Gum.  He's just long and he's just lean or long arms and get to the ball. I think that's the first time I've ever seen a Zastrow pass up a shot. Hey you're in the game you can shoot. Just an 18 point quarter for Lutheran. They had such a nice lead they ran it down and Betelman gets his point there. I thought Lutheran showed a lot of class not running the score up here. Right. They easily could have pushed the ball to the basket a little harder. Took it out a lot. There's a rainbow by Zastrow with the long arm rebound. Metoxin there shoots that one. Leipholm's not afraid to put it up and he puts one in. Last year's JV team my son was on that team and Ben was the resident three point shooter. They ran plays for Ben to shoot that three so there's another big guy that can shoot the three. They're going to need him next time. We're running down to 20 seconds left as Jordan trying to get to his average and Betelman with the turnover there. Jeff thanks so much for joining us tonight like I said with Mike Martin not being here. Glad you could sub in and help Lutheran watch a big victory for them. Well thanks for asking it was a pleasure and we always appreciate TV 8 coming over here and helping us show off our team and our boys. Yeah I know that Lutheran's always treated us well and there's a nice layup there by Santiago which is just going to make the final score a 30 point deficit. Well a victory for Shaboy and Lutheran as Hosentine's trying to shake hands with somebody. But that'll do it. And once again Jeff thanks so much for coming out tonight. When I come back I'll have a couple Lutheran players but the final score is 66 to 36. Want to help? Make it easy on everyone. Send cash the most effective form of disaster relief.

Find out more at negligentdriving.com Welcome back to Lutheran High with a 66-36 victory over the United Nation. Nice job tonight by you guys.  You got to sit a night to play but you came out right away on fire, got a big lead and basically put these guys away in the first half. Yeah coach kept us prepared with the snow yesterday so we were canceled. Coach kept us prepared so we were set for this game. Coach did a nice job with that. Yeah it's one of those things that are awesome. There was snow and stuff. Now you got to play now and then on Monday. But just got to take care of business. It's one of those situations where it's a step-by-step process to get to Madison and this is just another step on the way. Yeah we did a great job out there keeping the intensity up right off the start. Second quarter the place exploded. Kept the defensive intensity up the whole game so we did a nice job on that even with the snow. Yeah I talked to coach before the game and said maybe put a little pressure on them and you're going to full court them and they really did struggle. They had about 12-13 turnovers in the first half and kind of set the tone for you guys defensively for you. Yeah the defense just got our offense started. We got fast break points and they didn't want to run the ball so we pushed the ball the whole first half, second half we just got running on them and we kept on scoring points stopping them so our defense definitely started us our offense.  Oh yeah I love it. I kind of consider you kind of like the glue guy you get your little points here but you're always on the floor getting things like that and you know you're just one of those guys that contribute to make the whole team and the unit work and you got a lot of guys like yourself on the team. Everybody does their part. Yeah exactly just know our role. Coach has been telling us that all year just to know our roles and tonight it really showed that you just don't need to score. It can start in the defensive end and then you'll get your points and rebounds so just knowing your role definitely helped us. Well congratulations Phil good luck on Monday. Nick one thing coming in looking at the report a little bit they were a little smaller and their guards weren't so good but their post players could play a little bit and I thought you guys did a real nice job defensively you know controlling their bigger kids. Yeah it was definitely a challenge. You know we kind of looked at it and I was told originally that they were a little bit on the small side coming out of the locker room to warm up that definitely was not the case. Number 15 was a really good player.  Yeah I thought another thing you guys did a real nice job was on the rebound tonight it seemed like they got one chance and out you know and so you guys were really controlling the glass you know they got one opportunity you know instead of two and three chances and everybody's got a box out and rebound to make it work. Exactly that's what helped us get on that big run the fact that they only had one shot for offense for every three four times we did that was a huge momentum boost we got to keep doing that throughout the entire playoff we got to just keep our defensive intensity up. I thought another thing you guys did tonight really was distribute the ball well you got a lot of people contributing on offense and I thought the passing game and your offense really flowed all night and you're going to have to have that to keep the steps going on the ladder to get to state. Our team is never tougher when we pass the ball real well plain and simple when we can move the ball when everyone can get a touch when we can work it in inside and outside when we're the strongest. You got a full group of guys now to practice too and everybody got in the game tonight so everybody must be pretty happy about that. The locker room was jacked, it was awesome. Well continue that through on Monday. Congratulations to both of you guys keep keeping steps to the state tournament. With that we'd like to thank the crew for coming out on a Saturday for the 66-36 victory still snowing out there but they came out here to take care of things and we do miss Marty he's in Philadelphia with that but most likely like he says he'll see you down the road. For myself and the crew I'm Chris Wright we'll say see you later and thanks for watching tonight's basketball game.


Hello everybody. Welcome back to another AI video. In this one we're in runway ML or runway machine learning and I'm going to show you how to turn any video into crazy claymation just like this. This is the output. Here's the original video. This is just stock demo footage that they've got in runway ML. The guy just getting ready to find a good wave and figure out how to pack a good bowl and and well it turns into claymation. So how did we do it? Let's go from scratch starting from the beginning. So runway ml.com I'll put a link in the description. Sign up it's free and it is free. It's not nonsense or just log in if you've got an account like I do and when you do that you're going to see it right here at the beginning. It says gen one video to video. Click on that and when you do that you're going to see the option to drag and drop files. So here's the two things you can do. You can either click on the demo assets if you have if you just want to test it out and you don't have any footage but in all likelihood you've got some footage that you want to use. So it's going to go to Finder or your Explorer and just grab that footage. So for this one I'm going to pick the most boring footage you can imagine. I've got like some real estate footage. So I'm going to drag and drop this real estate stuff in. Now while that loads keep in mind that it's currently restricted to five seconds segments. This is I guess just a runway ML thing. That said you can go over here and upgrade and I believe you can get longer segments if you want to pay for it. But this is free and again it's restricted to five seconds at the moment. So there we go.  Now the next step though is once you've uploaded your footage go drop down to here and you get three choices. You can go to an image so we can actually drag and drop an image. So for example I've got this funky cat here and this cat has green eyes and it's doing its thing and maybe I want that to stylize it. So I could do that and then I can click on generate but I don't want that. I want to click on the presets here and these are the ones that I wanted to show you. So we can do claymation, we can do watercolor, origami, pen and ink, charcoal sketch and cloudscape and they're all very very cool. For this one I'm going to go with claymation and then the last step really is you just got to determine how strong it is. So when I hover over the eye here it controls how much to transform the original image based on the style reference. So if it's over to the left side here if we're on a lower percentage it's lower obviously if it's over here to like the 80 to up percent it's going to be very very strong based on the prompt. So just keep that in mind you can adjust this and again it's to transform the original image based on the style reference. So in this case we're going to keep it around 50 just keep it nice and chill. I'm going to click on generate and when it's done I'm going to come back and show you what we got. All right welcome back so let's see what we got. So here's the original shot of this living room and now here's the claymation version and it's done a really good job holy smokes let's hit play and see what it looks like. Wow it's come to life it's kind of crazy and animated and what the heck. Anyways there it is and if you want to download it because you like it you just go ahead and click on these three dots and download. I'm going to do a quick couple other tests here while I got you so I'm going to try the watercolor next I'll come back when that's done we'll take a look at that one. All right welcome back let's see what we got with the watercolor hit play this is fantastic look at that I mean this is just crazy compared that to the original this is convincing this is how you convert videos into amazing stylized videos thanks for watching


So now that we've reviewed key contextual information relating to in a London drawing room by George Elliot Let's now do a line by line analysis of this poem So now let's do a line by line analysis of in a London drawing room By George Elliot's and of course remember that this poem appears as part of a QA's worlds and lives Anthology, okay, so I'm going to do is I'm going to begin by reading the entire Stanza of this poem is written in just one stanza and then once I do that I'll literally do a line by line analysis starting with the title and of course each sentence within this stanza So I'm going to begin by reading through it in a London drawing room The sky is cloudy yellowed by the smoke For view there are the houses opposite cutting the sky with one long line of wall like solid fog Far as the eye can stretch monotony of surface and a form without a break to hang a guess upon No bird can make a shadow as it flies for always shadow as in ways Overhung by the thickest canvas where the golden rays are clothed in hemp No figure lingering pauses to feed the hunger of the eye or rests a little on the lap of life All hurry on and look upon the ground or glance unmarking at the passes by the wheels are hurrying to Carriages all closed in multiple identity The world seems one huge prison house in court where men are punished at the slightest cost With lowest rate of color warmth and joy So let's now go over the title to begin with in a London drawing room So this poem describes the speaker's view from their drawing room Okay, so context you remember that George Elliot wrote this in 1865 Describing Victorian London and of course I've mentioned this in the context notes But if somebody so first you remember that drawing room was usually a really really nice Living room in a very large mansion. So of course even from the title We kind of are told and in the the social status of the speaker is indicated, right? They're definitely upper class and of course the viewing things from that perspective Now the word in in a London drawing room, right? This preposition is somewhat misleading because We think we'll learn what's inside the drawing room, right when we actually just look at first just at the title We're thinking okay call this poem is going to probably be about you know What's going on inside this really nice and fancy drawing room, right? So this preposition is quite misleading. However, we then of course learn as we read through this poem that actually this sitting in Their standpoint or rather where they're sitting inside the drawing room They're actually describing the city that they see outside. Okay, so this is really interesting Now of course when you're also thinking about this I've mentioned this already But this title especially the reference to drawing room illustrates just how privilege and shelter the speaker is from the city's harshness Okay, that they're watching the city, you know and the harshness and stark reality of the city But from a very comfortable and sheltered view. Okay, so the the nicely distant from it Now when you're thinking about the Structure of the poem as I said, it's one single stanza of 19 lines written in iambit pentameter and what this is Illustrating illustrating when you're thinking about George Elliot Perhaps what she did and why she deliberately did this is to suggest the monotony of city life Okay, this this meter iambit pentameter is being used maybe to show the repetitive monotony of city life Now on the first line the speaker refers to how the sky is cloudy yellowed by the smoke now here Pathetic fallacy is used quite effectively because it's illustrating how the sky in London is tainted by all the smoke and pollution of The city of industry and of course of the industrial revolution in the second line where the speaker refers to for view There are the houses opposite here. They use on John Montt and what they're illustrating is the view from what what they can see is quite Drab and uninspiring and the third line this reference to one long long line of wall here They're using hyperbole the speaker is using hyperbole and what that is saying and what they're showing the image that they're painting in our minds Is that the houses all around the city that they're viewing create a barrier? There's a barrier between man and nature. Okay, and nature has been blocked out and sidelined Also, the speaker uses this simile to illustrate how the city's houses are blocking and cutting off the sky There's this clear division between man-made objects and nature However, there's this emphasis and this reference perhaps to how unnatural and how monotonous and uninspiring this has made city life become also this reference to the words cloudy and smoke in lines one and fog in lines four illustrates how Drab dull and dark the city is okay. This is really really powerful imagery Now in the next line this reference to the monotony of surface and of form here The speaker is using on John Montt to slow down the pace of the poem, right? It's dragging on much like life is dragging on for Londoners and The reference to surface and form in this line Illustrates how this line of houses is identical in surface and it's uniform. Okay on John Montt Usually actually creates anticipation But here right Elliot is actually using it somewhat ironically because she's piling on one disenchanting image on top of another Now in the next line this reference to without break to hang a guess upon here What the speaker is basically saying is that all the houses that they can see in London looks really predictable There's no mystery to explore. There's no shape to question They're all kind of really really kind of almost copycat and there's nothing interesting that stands out Also, the reference to how there's no bird that can make a shadow here We can see that the birds are overshadowed by the darkness and density of urban life and the reference and the repetition of Shadow illustrates that the sun another aspect of nature Can't cut through all the smoke and all the fog and all the pollution Of course, what we're getting is a really really dark image of this city Now the reference to overhung by the thickest canvas here What the speaker is basically saying is that the shadow that's being cast is like a huge canvas that's hanging over the city And the reference to golden rays is it's there's this contrast between, you know This man-made pollution and nature the sun being vibrant and colorful But that's been blocked out by, you know, this overpowering man-made objects and artifacts and of course also the pollution Now the reference to these golden rays being clothed in hemp Here the speaker uses caesura to illustrate how the sun's rays are covered by hemp, which is a common dull material Also, this present continuous verb shows that nobody in London is standing still the rushing ahead, right? And this is very typical of London city life even today, right? And the speaker is showing here that, you know, everyone's just really tense. They're running around So the city not only is it drab, monotonous, uninspiring But people don't even have time to stop and smell the flowers as it were Also this metaphor illustrates that no one can even Pause and satisfy the curiosity by looking around The only person who can actually look around and who has the luxury of looking around is this speaker Who's seated in a drawing room they don't have to go and work to make the daily bread They're the only people who can kind of look around but of course as they look around on this city They're realizing just how uninspiring it is and how people actually to some extent also seem trapped Also the reference to rest a little and lap of life here The speaker's using metaphor and alliteration showing that in the busy metropolis, right this busy city No one can pause enjoy the area It's only the speaker who can pause and gaze from the comfort of their drawing room Also the reference to eye look and glance head the language belonging to the semantic field of vision Actually ironically illustrates the lack of vision people have right people can't stop and enjoy what's around them The sights and sounds around them They literally are just working and going to and from work only having maybe enough time to rest before the wake up For another day of drudgery Also the reference to all this pronoun What the speaker is trying to do here and of course also the poet by extension is They're emphasizing how everybody's lost their individuality the crowd only stands out to the speaker as observing it Because it's so uniform Also the reference to hurry and look on the ground Once more this reference to what they can see vision the speaker does this to just Reemphasize that everyone's gaze is cast down the spirits are broken in the city, which is in the throes of the industrial revolution Then the harsh consonants in the words cabs and courage Shows us the harsh reality that everyone in London is in the they're in a rush They're actively avoiding eye contact with other city dwellers They don't even have time to form relationships with each other, right because they're too busy just running around Working and belly even making a living Also the fact that all is closed, right here. We've got sezura and there's this sense of entrapment that's been created through sezura Then the speaker states The world seems one huge prison house and court now This use of hyperbole metaphor within this phrase is really powerful because we can see here that the city dwellers feel trapped By industrialization and urbanization, right? I mean the whole point of industrialization and urbanization was to make our lives easier However, ironically, right living as urbanites. They actually feel they've become even more trapped Then the speaker refers to where the men are punished and here What the speaker is basically trying to illustrate is that the working classes are one big faceless machine That's trapped and punished by this endless cycle of work and obligation And then the final line this reference to color warmth and joy Here the speaker uses rule of three to portray Really depressing image of life in London and by extension to be honest industrial cities, which are popping up As a result of the industrial revolution, right? So of course Not only is this poem emblematic of london at the time right in the victorian era when it was at the height of the industrial revolution It also is symbolic of other cities like manchester Leeds sheffield new castle all of these spaces that were touched by the industrial revolution and these factories sprung up However, the speaker is basically showing that this happened at a really massive cost There's this distance between man and nature and of course everybody seems really really sad downcast and trapped by life in the city So that's really it when it comes to this poem.
