Read the excerpt from "A Modest Proposal." I profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that I have not the least personal interest

in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country, by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich. I have no children, by which I can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing. Which statement best describes how irony is used in this excerpt? Swift states that he is speaking from “the sincerity in [his] heart.” Swift states that he has an interest in “the publick good of [his] country.” Swift states that the youngest of his children is “nine years old.” Swift states that his “wife is past child-bearing” age.

Irony has an amusing effect, it says one thing but in reality it means the opposite. Although a satire is narrated in first person, this does not mean that the words written carry the thoughts of the writer. Swift states in the excerpt provided that he is speaking from "the sincerity of his heart", however it is well known that the writer was deeply affected by the economic restrictions imposed by England and by the injustice of the conditions in Ireland.

How does a first-person narrator differ from a third-person narrator? Select all that apply.
UNO [17]

Answer:

Definitely the first one, probably the second and third as well?

Explanation:

A first-person narrator is usually recounting an event, so they definitely use 'I'.

A third-person narrator sometimes knows the thoughts of other characters, depending on whether they're omniscient or not.

A first-person narrator is likely to show bias I think, because they're telling the story from their point of view so they're very likely to share their opinions and stuff. I don't really know, you're gonna kinda have to decide on this one.

A third-person narrator sometimes takes part? I mean, if they're third-person limited then usually it's the POV of a character but from a more detached persona? For example, in the Heroes of Olympus series all the chapters are in third person limited but all the characters take part in the action. If it's third-person omniscient then I don't think they'd be taking part in the action, unless the narrator is like a dude from the future recounting events that happened to his younger self and all that stuff. I don't really know, man.
