Definitely, situational irony is the major irony in the poem “Ballad of Birmingham” by Dudley Randall. In this story author chose nice type of irony that is actually means that all the expectations of character crushes into small pieces and thing are going in another way. In other words you can see the problem like ‘’expectation vs reality’’. The story ironically shows that even in the safest places something fatal can occur while you do not expect it at all.

The major irony in the poem "Ballad of Birmingham" by Dudley Randall is that the daughter asked her mother if she could go and participate in The Freedom March. However, her mother tells her it's better to go to church and pray. In the end, the church is bombed, and the daughter dies, which is quite ironic and tragic. The moral of the story is that no place is safe when the minds of people are corrupt.

Why did citizens support Italy government

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The people who are called to temporarily administer the republic are not owners, but servants; and the governed are not subjects, but citizens. And the sovereignty, that is the power to make choices that involve the entire community, belongs to the people, in accordance with the concept of a democracy, from the Greek demos (people) and kratìa (power). However, this power is not to be exercised arbitrarily, but in the forms and within the limits established by the rule of law.

Inessa [10]

I have the same prompt. Are you in the k12 system? Well here it is:
William Blake uses literary techniques and structure to develop meaning to the poem, mood as well as tone. Blake uses phrases like "The sun does arise,
And make happy the skies" To make the reader feel happy and light. It also conveys the idea that spring is a good thing and that the skies become happy when spring is coming. Blake also uses rhyme to make the poem light and bouncy. He uses phrases like The merry bells ring - B
To welcome the Spring; The skylark and thrush, The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around To the bells’ cheerful sound; While our sports shall be seen On the echoing green" This little stanza here give the poem a light and happy feeling. This is as far as I got I'll update this later when I am done. I hoped this somewhat helped.
