Which of these excerpts from poems by Emily Dickinson uses irony? My cocoon tightens, colors tease, I'm feeling for the air; A d

im capacity for wings Degrades the dress I wear. Could she have guessed that it would be; Could but a crier of the glee Have climbed the distant hill; Had not the bliss so slow a pace, — Who knows but this surrendered face Were undefeated still? One dignity delays for all, One mitred afternoon. None can avoid this purple, None evade this crown. There's a certain slant of light, On winter afternoons, That oppresses, like the weight Of cathedral tunes. Heavenly hurt it gives us; We can find no scar, But internal difference Where the meanings are. Exultation is the going Of an inland soul to sea, — Past the houses, past the headlands, Into deep eternity!

"Who knows but this surrendered face were undefeated still." If something surrenders, it implies it has been defeated. "Heavenly hurt" does seem to be ironic too though. Hope this helped.

well In my opinion, the whole poem is quite ironic - although she is mentioning the exultation and the royal color of death, the poem itself begins with the narrator saying that she cannot breathe - that she doesn't want to die.

So, I would say that the ironic parts are: 

Exultation is the going

Of an inland soul to sea, -

Past the houses, past the headlands,

Into deep eternity

Read this excerpt from Mohandas Gandhi's speech “Quit India.” What is the purpose of this speech?
ella [17]

The correct answer is: C) To persuade his countrymen to not feel hatred toward the British.

In this speech, Mohandas Gandhi, enumerates the reasons why hating the british people is wrong. We can see that this is a persuasive speech, meaning that the author tries to make the audience do something in specific or feel in a certain way about a topic by using diferent arguments. Here Gandhi states that the real enemy is the British imperialism, which is not personified strictly by the British people, that is the reason he makes a comparison between them.  He also states the dangers of reinforcing it, as it can make people choose another type of domination, the Japanese in this case, as long as the British go away.  

As we can see, the arguments used by Gandhi support this main idea, by stopping hate agains the British people, they can achieve freedom and India would be able to take responsibility for his own actions. Although the other options are found in the text they serve, as I say, to illustrate Gandhi's main point.

Brrunno [24]
he's not medically proven, he felt guilt the beating and his head was not real, so killing a man because he was annoying you in a sense is still not a valid excuse but he did have a reason

Type of area: suburban
Buy: I would want to buy a house as soon as possible even if at first it’s not the biggest or best house but once I save up and earn more from my career I can then look at better houses while leaving the house I bought to be able to be rented out by tenant and generating monthly cash flow that way.

Short term goal: 1 year from now I hope to have enough experience in the field I plan on going into from all the internships. One long term goal is to do everything I need to do to set myself up for the career that I want to go in to not better myself but my future family as well.
