How does the author use irony to develop the theme of the poem? Cite evidence from the text to support your response.
astra-53 [7]

In poetry and literature, irony is used as a rhetorical or literary technique to elaborate on what something appears to be on the surface in contrast to what it actually is. In the text, situational irony is used when the traveller speaks of the king's words engraved on the pedestal. Ozymandias, the king, is proud of his amazing works and of all he constructed in his lifetime, believing that would make him mighty for all time. However, nothing remains around the pedestal; the desert's sands have engulfed all of his colossal works. Therefore, it is the contradiction between what is boasted (that is, the amazing constructions) versus what is actually there (a large stretch of sand and decay) that constitutes the irony in the passage.

Letter to your teacher with the most creative excuse about why you couldn’t do the work (yes, make it up!) 10 sentences
kicyunya [14]
If it’s online school:

Hello Mr/Mrs. ____,
I regret to inform you that I was unable to do my assignments today. I know it is no excuse, but my WiFi has been extremely bad lately and we plan and getting a new provider soon. At a time like this, pretty much everyone in the town/city is using the WiFi and it’s causing it to go extremely slow. In fact, earlier today my WiFi shut off out of nowhere and yes, we have payed it. I have siblings and they are also trying to do their homework assignments and go into their zoom classes; which of course, causes it to go even slower. We even try to have everyone else in the house to not get on the WiFi if they’re not doing any school related things, but it doesn’t seem to work. I’m truly sorry for this roadblock that has come up. I’m not sure if this email will even send or when it will send. When/if it does, is it possible that you can give me an extension or?

Thank you.

(Sorry it’s not so creative lol)
