What is one possible reason Anne bradstreet used the poetic device of irony in her poems

English
1 answer:
velikii [3]3 years ago

Irony is the difference between what is being said and what is being meant.

English writer Anne Bradstreet used several instances of irony in her poems, mostly to mock society's assumptions as regards the role of women. For example:

"Who says my hand a needle better fits"

In the example above, Bradstreet refers to how society constrains women to do housework chores.

Read the excerpt from Maritza's essay, then read the new information she found. Write a paragraph
melamori03 [73]

Maritza’s response supports school choice for personal freedoms and equal opportunity for all students to get the best education possible. The new information contradicts that position because it gives examples of charter schools that have failed and that are inferior to public schools. Maritza might consider the evidence strong enough to revise her position and rewrite the argument. She might also attempt to explain the evidence and defend her argument in a new paragraph by arguing that the benefits of school choice outweigh the disadvantages.

PLEASEEEEEE HELP ME VERY URGENT!! I will give 100 points!!

  1. Once upon a time, in a world where things went very differently, there was a whole world under the sea.  
  2. Ariel, the daughter of King Triton grew up under the care of the Sea Witch, Ursula.
  3. Ursula trained the little mermaid in the ways of dark magic as the young mermaid needed a guiding hand.
  4. Ariel grew up, curious about the world above her, and Ursula told her about the surface world. She encouraged her student to go up and explore. Although, gave the warnings that humans were vile creatures that would wish her harm.
  5. Ariel, despite her mentor's warnings, once went up to the surface where a ship was out on the sea that would soon catch fire and saved a human from the sinking ship .
  6. She befriends Eric and they find themselves falling slowly in love with each other. Ursula supports the girl's happiness but warns her to be careful as Triton will not take kindly to the news.
  7. Wanting to be apart of their world, Ariel performs her own spell to give herself human legs. There is no need for the 3-day timer. Ursula figures it's a good way to keep Ariel distracted so she can take care of the threat of Triton.
  8. Unfortunately, word got out about Ariel’s little rescue/romance and the Kingdom of Atlantica feared the Sea Witch’s apprentice socializing with humans. Triton decides to take matters into his own hands .
  9. Ariel at the time is relishing in her life away from the Sea Witch and the threat of Triton breathing down her neck. She feels happy for once and never wants to leave.
  10. Ursula at this time is busy trying to warn Ariel of Trition's plan. She tells her student he is coming to kill her, which is actually accurate.
  11. They trick Triton into singing away his magic once he realizes that Ariel is alive and Ursula was willing to "harm" her.
  12. However, Ursula takes Triton's powers and turns into the 24ft tall sea monster with the plan to kill Triton and most of Atlantica to keep Ariel safe from him.
  13. Eric, who had been well aware of Ariel's homelife, came in via sharp shipwrecked ship and runs it through Ursula after Ariel realizes her mentor is beyond saving (after the power had gone to her head) and that killing her would be the only way to save her.
  14. Ariel refuses to go back with Triton (who she learns is her father) and trades her fins for legs permanently to live up on the surface world

So...the moral I guess would be this whole thing of even though people love us, sometimes they'll accidentally end up hurting us, even if our best interest is at heart for them.

I feel like I kinda nailed it...idk... but in the movie Triton lashed out at Ariel for her love of humans, and yeah it was a meanie move to destroy her passion, but he thought he was doing the right thing because his wife was killed by humans and he feared the same fate for his daughter.

In this rewrite for Ursula, she does love Ariel like a daughter and wanted what was best for her, but was willing to hurt people to do it.  

Let me know if I didn't at all cover the rule brick as I'm not exactly sure what this assignment was.

The government should be concerned about rapid population growth because it could lead to things like, food shortage, unemployment numbers increasing, the homeless numbers increasing, even an increase in disease

The government should help the citizens start their lives as in providing basic education through taxes and helping those who have hit hard times and need a little assistance, however with a bigger population and an increasing one as well the money supply to do such things is going to wear thin and make taxes go up or they stop doing such services

With too big of a population our carbon footprint could break down the O zone layer rapidly and cause the suns rays to be able to reach us and possibly cause cancer, we take up more room meaning less room for nature and we eat more so less animals and could cause extinction of certain animals climate will continue to increase
The government can put in rules about how much land can be used or how it is used keep companies from tearing down forests and make them government nations parks to reserve nature, get the people using more renewable resources instead of nonrenewable

The government should not be in citizens family related issues as in how many children they should have, when they should have them... etc however I do believe that before having children parents should be educated about the pregnancy process all that is to come ...etc BUT this all could be done through a DOCTOR who is the parents physician and not by government
