There are three different types of irony. Dramatic irony is when the reader or audience understands something that the characters do not. Situational irony is the difference between what happens and what was expected to happen. Verbal irony is when words express something contrary to the truth or when someone says the opposite of what they feel.

The passage, "May the Gods rain down all kinds of fortune on your lives, misfortune never harbor in your homeland," is from <em>The Odyssey</em>. Odysseus says this prayer after King Alcinous told the nobles to be generous with their gifts. It is ironic because Odysseus is the reasoning for their suffering. It is an example of situational irony because Odysseus is causing their misfortune and saying a prayer that there not be misfortune in their land.

DIRECTIONS

In a large mixing bowl, combine milk, vanilla pudding mix and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk thoroughly, breaking up any lumps, and refrigerate for at least 5 minutes, or until set.

In another large bowl, combine heavy cream and vanilla. Beat until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside half of the mixture for topping the dish. Fold remaining half into the pudding mixture.

Cover the bottom of a 3-quart trifle dish with vanilla wafers. Top with one-third of the pudding mixture. Cover with another layer of the wafer cookies—you may want to also stand some cookies up vertically, so you see the full circle along the edge of the trifle dish. Top with an even layer of banana slices. Continue layering the pudding, wafer cookies and banana slices until you reach the top, ending with a final layer of banana pudding.

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to overnight.

Sweeten the remaining whipped cream: Add sugar to whipped cream, stirring to combine. Just before serving, dollop on top of the banana pudding, then sprinkle crumbled wafer cookies on top.

But warfare for the Kiowas was preeminently a matter of disposition rather than of survival, and they never understood the grim,
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

show that the wartime goals of the U.S. Cavalry and the Kiowas were fundamentally different.

Explanation:

The language in this sentence suggests that the author wants to "show that the wartime goals of the U.S. Cavalry and the Kiowas were fundamentally different."

For the Kiowas, they fought as a result of their expertise as good warriors. They fought out of their character and nature to fight and not because of the material gains they will get as a means of survival. Whereas, the U.S. Cavalry were somewhat different as they kept pushing forward even at a time when there is no war.
