Which statement best describes Swift’s use of rhetorical devices in this passage?

English
2 answers:
TEA [102]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Swift uses verbal irony when he calls his friend a “patriot”; a true patriot would not suggest using Ireland’s children for food.

Verbal irony refers to a situation in which the speaker says something which is the opposite of the truth. It is a very common and useful rhetorical device. In this case, Swift describes his friend as a "patriot." However, a patriot is a person who cares deeply about his country, and the friend, instead, wants the children of Ireland killed and eaten. He is, in fact, the opposite of a patriot as he does not care about the well-being of the Irish citizens.

In the space provided, write an objective summary of "The Cutting of My Long Hair." Use the summary you've already begun draftin
Savatey [412]

The essential summary of "The cutting of My long hair" is that it is a story that is suggestive of the fact that there is a lot of discrimination being faced by Indians in the west.

<h3>What is an objective summary?</h3>

An objective summary is one wherein the key facts are derived from the content of the text and not from the imagination or emotional point of view of the reader.

Hence, it is correct to indicate that the objective summary is that Indians are being discriminated against in the western world.

Who is riding in the carriage with the speaker in Emily Dickinson’s poem “712” (“because I could not step for death”)
Amanda [17]

Death

In the poem the speaker says, "The Carriage held but just Ourselves – " At the very beginning of the poem the speaker personifies Death. When she says, "Because I could not stop for Death - He kindly stopped for me". This idea that Death stops for the speaker, personifies Death and makes him a character in the poem. This means that "Ourselves" refers to the speaker and Death.

Some people have argued that since Death is personified, so is Immortality and therefore Immortality is also riding in the Carriage with the speaker and Death. However, this is not a widely accepted interpretation.
