What is the irony of the poem small pain in my chest?

English
1 answer:
Vinvika [58]3 years ago
4 0
<span>The expression “small pain” is repeatedly used in the poem only to make sure we get the irony and get that well. As we go through the poem, it gets clearer that the pain was not at all a small one, rather it was a fatal injury that the soldier boy succumbed to. So the poet might be hinting that the injury of the soldier boy is not a great injury compared to the destruction war can cause.</span>

In this passage, Pip is "afraid of it all and beginning to cry" because __________.
Korvikt [17]

Answer: B. He is, for the first time, aware of the world as a bleak and savage place.

Explanation:

Pip heard a terrible voice only after he began to cry, so D is not a correct choice. His parents and brothers had died a long time before the event described in the excerpt (so B would be wrong). Pip was not lost on the marshes (so C would be wrong). The answer would be A.

Here is support in the text:

My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things, seems to me to have  been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening. At such a time I found out for  certain, that this bleak place overgrown with nettles was the churchyard; and that Philip Pirrip,  late of this parish, and also Georgiana wife of the above, were dead and buried; and that  Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and Roger, infant children of the aforesaid, were  also dead and buried; and that the dark flat wilderness beyond the churchyard, intersected with and mounds and gates, with scattered cattle feeding on it, was the marshes; and that  the low leaden line beyond, was the river; and that the distant savage lair from which the wind  was rushing, was the sea; and that the small bundle of shivers growing afraid of it all and  beginning to cry, was Pip."
