Doodle (the baby) is treated in ironic way in many situations in the play "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst. For example, when he is born his mother ask for the building of a coffin for him. This is rare because no mother expects his baby dies. Since the baby does not die, the coffin is stored. Another example of irnony is that "Brother" expects Doodle to learn how to walk and talk before he could be able to do it. Brother thinks this is a way to help his little brother but in the process he pushes Doodle so hard that the young boy dies.
The big irony is that when they expected the baby dies he lived and when Doodle is forced to perform the above mentioned activities, he dies. Probably Doodle would have lived longer if everyone accepted him as he was.
Answer:
As used in this epigram, "nomadic" is modifying the noun "longings".
Explanation:
This question is tricky because <u>the word order in the poem is inverted. In English, the adjective is placed before the noun it modifies</u>: beautiful girl, blue sky, bright eyes, etc. But here, the author has chosen to place the adjective "nomadic" after the noun it refers to, which would be "longings". What the epigraph means is that our old nomadic longings, that is, that desire we have to move from one place to another, which we inherited from our ancestors, will burst out if we stay in one place for too long.
The poem by John Meyers O'Hara is used as an epigraph (short quotation) at the beginning of "The Call of the Wild", a novel by Jack London.
