Answer:

In Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, Gulliver's adventures and experiences ... Pride and arrogance are reoccurring themes that make up the most of Swift's satire.

Swift has now concluded his illustration on humans' basic nature. Gulliver could not make himself a horse. He is not innocent or rational. He is, by nature, a Yahoo. But, as a European Yahoo, Gulliver should use his driblet of reason to improve himself; instead, he uses his reason to magnify his worst vice: his pride. Gulliver's pride has swelled out of all proportion; he has "reasoned" himself into rejecting his species and his nature: Gulliver is virtually a madman. His attitudes when he arrives in London make him a source of derision, for Gulliver seeks to change his basic nature by thinking; reason becomes the sole guide of his life.

Answer:

situational irony

Explanation:

Situational irony occurs when the reader is waiting for an event to happen, but what happens is the opposite and totally unexpected event, which surprises the reader, for having been unpredictable.

The above text is an example of situational irony because as we read the text we are sure that a cheff who makes meat dishes admired in the world is a meat lover, but we were surprised to find that the cheff is vegan.

What do you do ""spring and all"" convey about nature? Discuss how this theme relates to the conventions of pastoral poetry.
Alona [7]

Answer:

"Spring and all" relates to the conventions of pastoral poetry because:

The poem describes nature in a certain scenario but it complements it by idealizing it with a value judgment.

Explanation:

The two reasons that back the answer are that in the first place description is good and objective. However, when it is complemented with believes, and opinions, they gain a grade of value judgment. In our case the association between pastoral poetry and the poem of William is that he idealizes certain aspects of the scenario he describes like:

But now the stark dignity of

entrance—Still, the profound change

has come upon them: rooted, they

grip down and begin to awaken

Providing dignity to a natural characteristic that is improper of it. Showing his idealizations.
