What situational irony occurs in the the colomber by dino buzzati?

Situational irony occurs when what you expect is not what it actually is.

In The Colomber, the main character wanted to become a sea captain but because he was able to see the colomber, he was warned by his father not to go to sea because the presence of the colomber means that the main character is doomed. They believed that the presence of the colomber is a sign of incoming death to the person who sees it.

At the end of the story, the colomber told the main character that the reason he was following the main character was because he was tasked by a sea god to give the main character a pearl to keep for good fortune in life.

It is ironic because the main character believed that the colomber brings bad luck when it brings the opposite.

What is the tone of the poem, "war is kind" by Stephen Crane?<br> Please help!!!
Mars2501 [29]
The tone is dark but is contradicted by how the government always portrays war as something to be proud of when in reality it’s just men who will never return to their families. It tells how wives, mothers, and children weep after learning a loved one has been lost in the field while also glorifying death

What do you think the speaker means when he says, “Nature’s first green is gold”? In nothing gold can stay HELPPP
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Now that our speaker has told us that nature is gold before it's green, he goes on to say that gold is the hardest hue, or color, for nature to hold, or keep. So the first color we see in spring doesn't stick around very long. Hold rhymes with gold, which means we've got a rhymed couplet here.
