Answer:

"Thus it was, grandchildren, that I began my day as Kii Yazhi and ended it as Ned Begay.”

Significance of this statement:

The story of how he ended up with a different name at the end of the day is the meaning of this statement to me. Because the white teacher didn't understand their language and didn't realize that Biye means "son of" in Navajo, there were so many Begays. So he gave him the name Biye, spelled "Begay" as he had heard it. Other white men followed suit. That's why there are so many Begay Navajo families. He was relieved that he didn't have another John for a first name. The white man was tired of writing the name John by the time he got to him. As a result, he was given the same first name as the teacher's uncle, "Ned," who had died.

Shakespeare often employs a literary technique known as dramatic irony. dramatic irony exists when the reader or viewer knows so
Neporo4naja [7]
One of the other moments of dramatic irony in act 4 is when Juliet tells her father in scene 2 that she will forever more be ruled by him and do what he says. This is dramatic irony because the audience knows she plans on faking her death to run away, but Capulet doesn't. His happiness and excitement to go forward with the wedding builds up the act before becoming dramatic again.

 The next example is when Juliet's family discovers her dead in scene 4. The audience knows that she has taken the potion to just appear dead, but this scene gives a lot of drama because the audience gets to see how her family reacts and that they actually do care about her (especially her father).
