She has combed and brushed her night-dark hair, And bathed rose petal sweet, And drawn white gloves on her small brown hands, An

d white shoes on her feet. What is ironic about the sensory imagery in the stanza? The little girl is preparing her appearance carefully for church, but the church will be bombed.

Answer:

The little girl is preparing her appearance carefully for church, but the church will be bombed.

Explanation:

This is an excerpt from the poem "The Ballad of Birmingham." In this poem, Dudley Randall talks about the bombing of a black church by white supremacists in Birmingham, Alabama. This bombing was shocking for a lot of people, and the poem became very popular. In this stanza, the author describes the careful preparation of a girl who is going to church, and the irony lies in the contrast between her careful preparation and the fact that the church will be bombed.

How does Bierce describe Farquhar’s supposed escape?
Anarel [89]
As Bierce chooses to write the third section of the story through Farquhar's perspective, the story begins to reveal the use of figurative language that the previous two sections didn't include. In particular, Bierce makes use of imagery. He gives a vivid description of Farquhar's supposed escape and the sights and sounds he sees and hears. He describes nature in great detail; for example, the veins as well as the sounds of tiny insects.
