Which statement best explains the situational irony that occurs in the passage?

English

statuscvo [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The aunt tells a story with a moral, but the children ignore the lesson.

Explanation:

Situational irony is a literary technique that is used when an unexpected outcome occurs in a particular case/event. This means that a normal reaction to an action does not happen, rather the opposite result occurs. This is exemplified in the story above. After the aunt tells a story with rich moral lessons, it was expected that the children would pick the main points. However, this did not happen as the children were disappointed in the story and did not grab any lessons.

In Abraham's speech, he convinced his listeners to his concerns by addressing them as "fellow countrymen" including him, making him part of the people and just the leader of the nation. His personality is evident in his speech, as  he is a modest and reasonable man, he has trust in his people that the war is something good that will come out off. He specifically wanted that "slavery" will no longer be allowed, because he believes that freedom should belong to every people. He wanted to restrict slavery to the point of taunting his enemies who believe that slavery should stay. "Ethos" is described as a moral character that Abraham's presents in his ending speech "with malice with no one" meaning that peace will somehow arrive in the nation even with the war going on the country.  Abraham is shown to be a man of peace and will not settle to have peace for any price just justice.
