<span>Sarcasm is a taunting statement that usually says one thing while meaning the opposite. It aims to ridicule or bitterly criticize the object. Here, it appears in the B stanza ("Where is now your arrogance..."). By asking about arrogance, awesome deeds, valor and victories, the speaker actually denies all of those in a very deprecating way.

Bob and wheel is a rhythmical device made famous by the poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight". It consists of two lines: the first one is extremely short (usually two syllables), and it's called "bob"; the second is longer and may have an internal rhyme. Here, the D stanza uses this device: "must be" is bob, and the following line is the wheel.

Allusion is a reference to a famous person or event, usually from mythology or history, or classical literature. Here, the C stanza employs a lot of allusions to Biblical figures of Adam, Solomon, Samson, Delilah, David, Bathsheba. Allusions are never explained, as the writer presumes that the reader is already familiar with them.

Simile is a figure of speech that compares one person, thing, or phenomenon to another, with or without conjunctions such as "as" or "like". It usually compares particular to abstract and vice versa. Here, the A stanza employs a simile ("</span><span>Oblique, like a baldric").</span>

Write a body paragraph for why police should wear body cameras and a reason to support your opinion.
leonid [27]

Answer:

Police officers should wear body cameras to protect not just themselves but also civilians. If police officers regularly wore cameras the state would be able to look the at the footage if something questionable ever happened. The state would be able to see if the officer was abusing his/her powers or if they were just acting in self-defense. Then, in most cases, the person at blame would be clear. Then, civilians could get justice for the family or if the officer was just acting in self-defense they would not be punished. In conclusion, police officers should wear body cameras for everyone's safety.
