But, o Sarah! If the dead can come back to this earth and flit unseen around those they loved, I shall always be near you; in the garish day and in the darkest night amidot your happies
scenes and gloomiest hours-always, always; and if there be a soft breeze upon your cheek, it shall be my breath, or the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by

Hatshy [7]

After reading the passage containing the situation with Colin and Cole, we can say that the type of irony demonstrated is:

Situational irony.

<h3 /><h3>What is situational irony?</h3>
  • Situational irony happens when the outcome of a process is completely different from what the audience and the characters expect.
<h3 /><h3>What is the irony in this situation?</h3>
  • This situation is ironic because, since Colin and Cole spent so much time learning how to surf, we would expect them to have a great time when they finally went surfing for the first time.
  • Instead of enjoying the results of their training, one of them broke his board, and the other was eaten by a shark. Therefore, we can say the outcome was completely different from what we expected.

What function do names play in society? (for an essay so please be specific)
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Names. Ah yes, the human configuration. Human names, animal names, company names, vehicle names, building names, it's all one of the sort. That's how you identify your target. That's how you tell one person from another verbally.

The function it plays is identification and separation. Names are one of the most important things these days. You have it on your license, your receipt, your credit card, your homework paper, your email, almost everything you need a name for. If you were in a movie theatre line, or a restaurant line, and you had a reserved ticket or seat, they would either identify you by your ticket number/table number or your name.  

This is the same situation with companies, vehicles and animals. How do you tell a lion and tiger apart without seeing both right next to each other? You verbally tell them apart by their names. If one is called a "tiger", and one is called a "lion", then they must not be the same, not sharing the same name. But, that's the species name. You can give them an actual name that identifies them from "dog" or "cat". You can give them human names, like Rocky, John, or even more animal-styled names, like Buddy, Lucky, Tucker, Spencer, and so on.

Now, how do you tell companies apart? "I'm gonna go shop at the building with the W, A, L, M, A, R, T letters on the front instead of the buildings with the D, O, L, L, A, R, S, T, O, R, E letters!" No. You say, "I'm gonna go to Walmart instead of the Dollar Store," right? That's the only right way to say it. To distinct one thing by itself, you need a name for it. Instead of saying, "I'm gonna play the shooting game instead of the other shooting game," you'll say, "I'm gonna play COD instead of Battlefield," right? The first way just sounds weird.
