I would contend that irony is the rhetorical device used in this statement from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous speech “I Have a Dream.” He is saying that he dreams (so far what he dreams of has not come true) of one day when the United States will rise up (both literally and metaphorically) and once and for all live according to the true meaning of its creed - a flagrant reference to the Declaration of Independence, which states that one of the truths, or creeds, that Americans hold is "that all men are created equal." Dr. King even refers to this part of the Declaration in his own speech. What he is here emphasizing and reminding his audience about, with a certain degree of irony, is that, so far, the nation as a whole has not held that truth as self-evident, so he has a dream that one day it will finally be true to its word and live, and let live, according to that inalienable, and inherently American, principle.

Moonbird summary about the birds travels
olga55 [171]

B95 is a 4-ounce, robin-sized shorebird, a red knot of the subspecies rufa. Each February he joins a flock that lifts off from Tierra del Fuego and heads for breeding grounds in the Canadian Arctic, 9,000 miles away. Late in the summer, he begins the return journey. Scientists call him Moonbird because, in the course of his astoundingly long lifetime of nearly 20 years, he has flown the distance to the moon and halfway back. B95 can fly for days without eating or sleeping but eventually must land to refuel and rest. Recent changes, however, at refueling stations along his migratory circuit, most caused by human activity, have reduced the available food. Since 1995, when B95 was captured and banded, the rufa population has collapsed by nearly 80 percent. Scientists want to know why this one bird survives year after year when so many others do not. In a compelling, vividly detailed narrative, Hoose takes readers around the hemisphere, showing them the obstacles rufa red knots face, introducing a global team of scientists and conservationists, and offering insights about what can be done to save them before it’s too late.

Let's talk about Fortunato's name. What does it
Blababa [14]

Answer and Explanation:

Let's talk about Fortunato's name. What does it  remind you of?

The name "Fortunato" reminds me of the word "fortune".

If you met someone named  Fortunato, you would expect this person to  be...what?

Fortune has two meanings. It can refer to luck or to wealth. Therefore, if I met someone named Fortunato, I would expect this person to be lucky or rich. I would expect him to have a happy life.

I believe this question is connected to the short story "The Cask of Amontillado", by author Edgar Allan Poe. It is ironic that the character Fortunato should have such a name, since he is being taken by his very friend, Montresor, to be buried alive.
