Answer:
It comes across to me that you come from a “hierarchy” culture where one would formally address an elder with respect. Here it is your uncle, whom I assume is an older gentleman, probably your parents’ older relative, living in a rural area with limited or no modern means of communication near by where he lives. Writing would be the next best thing. I would be happy to get a letter in the mail from my near and dear one who lives in another country.
I would start by saying,
Respected Uncle or Dearest Uncle….,
I hope you are doing well.
It has been a long time since we have seen each other. I remember my childhood when mummy and papa would bring us sometimes on our holidays to spend time with you. It was one of my best holdisays, and I want to visit again with mummy and my family so they too can have an experience of rural sunny life in ……..
I have not been out of the country (name your country) for some time now as I was tied down with some personal work at home and also my job kept me busy.
Now that I am able to free up some time, I thought about coming to visit you for a few weeks. First, mum was wanting to spend some quality time with you before she gets older and would not be able to travel later on alone; and second, since it is winter out here, this would be an opportune time to enjoy your sunny weather and be with you.
Uncle, I am mailing this letter to you today and we are all eagerly waiting to hear back from you soon, so we can make necessary travel arrangements.
Your nephew,
Thats sad

Answer and explanation:
<em>"So it was the hand that started it all... his hands had been infected, and soon it would be his arms...his hands were ravenous". </em>(Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, page 41).
This quote explains a part of the story in which Montag returns back to his home after another book-burning mission. But this one ended tragically because a woman set her house on fire. Before the woman commands herself on this decision, Montag takes a specific book with him. And is after he reads this book, that he starts his rebellion against the state. So that's why the book says that it would this hand (Montag's hand) that started it all.
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.
