English

Wewaii [24]3 years ago

The sentences in this excerpt of "Editha" that have an ironic tone are:

""To think of your having such a tragedy in your life!"

This sentence is ironic because Editha brought her tragedy on her own: the only reason her fiancé is dead, which lead to an argument with his mother, is because she insisted that he went to war, even threatened to end the engagement if he didn't.

" But when you consider how much this war has done for the country!"

This has an ironic tone because wars are never positive for a country. They represent a loss of life and a heavy weight in the economy.

Is all afire, though none the flame may see.
pychu [463]

Answer:

1. Simile was used to compare the poet's heart to the salt-kilns by Tsunu's wave.

2. Hyperbole was used to exaggerate the condition of the author's heart by describing it as being aflame.

Explanation:

Simile is the direct comparison of two different things using 'like', and 'as'. Just as salt glazes were made by throwing salt to the kiln, so was the poet's heart.

Hyperbole is used to make an exaggeration. The poet's heart was described as being afire though nobody actually sees the flame. This is a form of exaggeration.
