Answer:

These word choices highlight the tone of irony.

Explanation:

The question above is about the poem "War is Kind" written by Stephen Crane. The entire poem has a strong tone of verbal irony, which can first be found in the poem speaker's statements about why women should not cry because the men they love were killed in war, because war is a good and benevolent thing. This characteristic of war contains strong irony, since nothing good and benevolent would kill anyone.

Verbal irony is reinforced by the use of contradictory ideas like those found in the question above, where the author mixes the characteristics that war promoters impose on themselves and the real characteristics among them.

1. (a) In "Avarice," the speaker notes four different items "she" keeps.
4vir4ik [10]

All three poems are about money.

Explanation:

1. In Avarice, line 1 opens with a direct address to a personified “Money,” treating money as if it were a living thing, which, as the rest of the poem will show, in a way it is. Human beings have almost brought money to life by worshipping it instead of God. The poem is about greed and the poet says money is got from dirty mines.

2. In 'The Good Life' the poet found peace in being hungry all the time, This is very strange. The poet compares money to a lover who went to get milk and never returned. She says her money simple vanished.

3. In 'Money', the poet says what money means to people. Money not only helps people to survive but it is considered as an addiction.
