Which sentences in this excerpt from William Dean Howells's "Editha" use an ironic tone?

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.

Read the paragraph from Lucy’s narrative.
Brrunno [24]

The correct answer is the following: <em>option d. Lucy should include next a few lines of dialogue between the writer and Grandma June.</em> In the paragraph presented in the question Lucy narrates her point of view of the events that are occurring in front of her eyes. While the paragraph is well written and gives relevant information to the reader, the adding of a few lines of a dialogue between the characters would be helpful. The use of dialogues when writing help the readers to get to know the character's intentions, emotions and actions while inducing aspects of reality to the text, by using normal conversations the characters would have.
