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

English
2 answers:
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.

Which of the following is an example of using a specific, vivid verb?
daser333 [38]

Answer: Choice #2 (<em>He peered at me from the other side of the room.)</em>

Explanation:

The four verbs are <em>looked</em>, <em>peered</em>, <em>sat</em>, and <em>was </em>for sentences 1-4 respectively.

Out of those four verbs, <em>sat </em>and <em>was </em>are extremely basic, common, and uninteresting verbs.

<em>Peered </em>is a more powerful synonym to <em>looked, </em>thus making it the vivid verb.

Hope this helps! Have a great day!

4. Lines 97-108: What metaphor does Soto use to explain how he feels as he
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

"Boredom was a terror almost as awful as the work itself."

Explanation:

This is the metaphor that Gary Soto uses in the text "One Last Time. " In this text, Soto describes both boredom and work as awful "terrors." This shows that Soto finds it difficult and disheartening to engage in either of these activities, as he does not enjoy work or rest. The image conveys the idea that Soto has lost all drive and motivation. This metaphor contributes to creating a tone of sadness and desperation.

How does changing the mood affect the verb in a sentence affect the tone
Leto [7]
