Answer:
<u>He later served as the army's Commanding officer in Berlin, Germany, where his headquarters had formerly been occupied by the very Nazi leaders who had put his family in the camp and killed many of his family members.</u>
Explanation:
Irony is when what happened is not something that is expected. This means that the expected outcome of anything is so far from what actually happened, surprising the people.
Here, the word "delicious" is added to modify the 'irony'. By adding the word "delicious", the speaker seems to suggest the fact that the irony is something that both surprises yet makes him happy or even excited about it. And the "delicious irony" in the passage is <em>"his headquarters (in Berlin, Germany) had formerly been occupied by the very Nazi leaders who had put his family in the camp and killed many of his family members." </em>This ironic outcome seems to be both cathartic and painful for him.
<span>The scene
you are referring to in _Walk Two Moons_ occurs in Chapter 23, “The Badlands.” When Sal’s mother says she wants to visit
Idaho in order for her cousin, whom she has not seen in 15 years, to tell her
what she is really like, she means that she wants to be told (or even reminded)
what she was like before she was a mother and before she was married. It seems as if she wants to be reminded of
the person she feels she no longer is.
And, to come into contact with one whose last memory of her is of whom
she used to be is why she wants to go to Idaho.</span>
The Grieved Lands is poem of 42 lines with seven uneven stanzas. It is a free verse. The Grieved Lands presents the uniqueness of Black race and their resistance to slavery and colonial rule. It belongs to the group of poems which advance the unique beauty of the Black race and the dominant strength of being Black. The poet draws from the realistic nature of Negritude (a movement which celebrates and promotes the uniqueness and dominance of Black race to other races popularly propagated by Leopald Sedar Senghor).
In the poem, The Grieved Lands the poet presents African race as an imperishable race and African land as a land that can withstand anything; Lines 40 -41.
The first three stanzas talk about the degradation of Africa by slavery, imperialism, colonialism and Westernization. The poet uses these stanzas to decry the effects of Western influence on Africa. Line 2 “In the tearful woes of ancient and modern slave” In this line, the “ancient” refers to the physical slavery when men and women were forcefully moved out of the Land of Africa to different parts of the world. The “modern slave” refers to the present psychological and mental slavery in Africa and among Blacks, where Africans or Blacks depend on the West for aids and solutions. This is seen as the psychological acceptance of Western values, culture – dressing, lifestyle etc as the standard of measuring success and achievement.
