Answer:

graft - to combine or integrate

transpire - to be revealed

to mottle- to mark with spots

Explanation:

"Song of Myself" is a poem by Walt Whitman, included in his collection Leaves of Grass. It is also the longest poem in this collection, and deals with the search for identity.

In the first excerpt of the poem - <em>''The first I graft and increase upon myself, the latter I translate into new tongue''</em>, the meaning of the word <em>'graft'</em> is to combine or integrate.

In the second excerpt - <em>''It may be you transpire from the breasts of young men"</em>, the word <em>'transpire'</em> means to be revealed.

In the last excerpt, <em>"Earth of shine and dark mottling the tide of the river", </em>the contextual meaning of <em>'mottling'</em> is marking with spots or blotches.

What is the difference between the three types of irony? Pretend like you have to explain it to a younger sibling or younger stu
lianna [129]

Answer and Explanation:

There are three types of irony in the literature and each has completely different effects on the text. These types of irony are called verbal irony, dramatic irony and situational irony.

Dramatic irony allows the text to reveal story information to readers, not characters. An example of this occurs when the reader knows who the masked hero of the story is, while the characters do not know.

Verbal irony is presented in a text when a character says something, but it means the opposite of what he said. An example of this can be seen when a car passes through a puddle of water throwing water at a character who gets completely wet and says angrily "That's great! It was exactly what I wanted."

Last, but not least, situational irony occurs when the text presents evidence for a predictable ending (of a situation), but has a completely different ending. An example of this can be seen when at a wedding, the bride at the time of answering "yes" answers "no."
