English

6 0

It is known that the figures related to casualties in WWI are not completely precise. Statistics vary to a great extent; with numbers that go from 9 million to over 15 million total deaths. These numbers include combat related deaths, accidents, disease and imprisonment related deaths, as well as civilian deaths.

In the excerpt, the narrator gives a real life picture of what war is, how the deceased are not just bodies but human beings: "<em>above such shattered bodies there are still human faces in which life goes its daily roun"</em>. He/she questions people's ability to put such slaughter into numbers, as if deaths were no more than that. Thus, this idea becomes clear when the narrator puts the controversy of such act into words: <em>"how senseless is everything that can ever be written, done, or thought when such things are possible"</em>.

The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin:
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Irony occurs when someone means the opposite of what he or she says.  Thus, in Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," it is ironic that the doctors say that Louise Mallard dies of "heart disease of joy," because heart disease is medically never associated with happiness but with stress and pain. Josephine and Richards console Louise when she grieves her husband's death, so they see her devastated. However, there is also irony in the fact that Louise then locks in her room and, after thinking about it, she feels overjoyed to know her husband is dead and she is liberated. Finally, she dies when she sees that he is alive.

Troyanec [42]
Depends on what this is for. I would have to agree with: “a video showing a beach full of litter.” It provides visual evidence and emotional appeal. The others, while still valid, do not hit on more than one characteristic of appeal.
