English

Sarcasm is "a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark or taunt. Irony is a statement that, when taken in context, may actually mean something different from, or the opposite of, what is written literally; the use of words expressing something other than their literal intention, often in a humorous context.

One definition of “irony” is the contrast between what a character in a movie, play, or novel thinks or says and what the audience knows to be true. So it’s “irony” when the movie audience knows the villain is lurking behind the door as the hero opens it, saying “The bad guy is gone.” But when the villain knocks out the hero and says “Gee, what a smart guy,” that’s “sarcasm.”

FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE EXAMPLES
Nikolay [14]

An onomatopoeia is a sound that is also the word. An example would be "boom" or "sizzle".

Irony is using the opposite words to describe a situation or something like that . Ex. The fire station burned down.

Personification is giving an intimate object human personality. Ex. The moon smiled down on us.

A simile is comparing words using like or as. Ex. Quite like a mouse

Metaphor is comparing words using is or are. Examples would be you are a cow or you are a chicken.

Which sentence provides the best summary of the first and second stanzas of the poem? A A boy darts down a hill, stops to think,
Gekata [30.6K]

Hello. You did not inform the poem to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, you can find another question exactly the same as yours that showed the poem "Going Down Hill On A Bicycle, A Boy's Song." If this is your case, I hope the answer below can help you.

Answer:

D. A boy speeds so fast down a hill that he cries out to a bird that he, too, is flying.

Explanation:

The poem shows how a guy riding a bicycle feels like going down the hill at high speed. In addition to all the adrenaline and emotion he feels in this activity, he is able to perceive the action of the wind against him, crossing him and giving him such a great sense of freedom and agility that he believes he is flying, like a bird. In this case, we can see that the sentence that best summarizes the poem is: A boy speeds so fast down a hill that he cries out to a bird that he, too, is flying.
