The naval officer which came to the rescue was himself a man of war and conflict as he was military, yet, he saw that these uncivilized and wild children were nearly inhumane- Yet, the irony is: Isn't the carnage of war inhumane as well?

(It's been a year or two since I've read LOTF, so memories may be a little fuzzy)

The irony is that throughout the book, the boys are portrayed as rogue savages and go to war against each other. When the navy officer arrives, his position shows that he is a part of war, the representation of war.

The officer is supposed to be a hero, an adult at last, someone sensible, as shown when Ralph desperately tries to explain the horrors of what the boys have done. However, it is quite ironic that their hero to rescue them from their brutal war, is a person who partakes in war. His war be more modernized and he may wear a nice clean uniform, but he too is a savage, just like the schoolboys.

The repetition of consonant sounds, especially at the end of words or syllables, without the correspondence of vowel sounds nece
uysha [10]

Answer:

Consonance.

Explanation:

<em>'Consonance' </em><em>is demonstrated as the literary device that involves a succession of similar consonant sounds usually at the end of syllables or words without resembling the vowel sounds in a single line(sentence) or phrase.</em> The chief aim of employing such a device is to create a rhythmic and melodious effect that would captivate the readers' attention and appeal to them. In 'abstruser musings', there is a quick succession of consonant sound 's' while in the phrase 'That was a stroke of luck', the use of consonant sound 'k' repetitively creates the rhyming effect. Thus, <u>'consonance'</u> is the answer.
