7 0

There are a couple of sentences.First, .."No ,you didn´t expect him to get kiiled."You just expected him to kill some one else.." The message is about deathe and the lady talks as if referring to a place that needed cleaning.

Second,.."they weren´t there because they had any say about it.."Again there is sarcasm in the idea that , though human beings, theyare in such a low position that they do not even deserve to utter a word.

Thirdly, .. you thought it would be right.....to kill the sons...miserable mothers.."The sentence contains sarcasm as it expresses an idea of doing away with what is useless.

Last, ...What you got that black.."She means that there is no reason to be mourning by wearing black clothes, a shawl.She is sarcastic because she is thankful for a deat."You thought it would be all right..".." to kill the sons of those h to prevent other deaths.

I believe the sentences that contain sarcasm are, "I thank my God he didn't live to do it! I thank my God they killed him first, and that he ain't living' with their blood on his hands!"

Why has the poet compared imagination to a soaring bird in this excerpt from the poem "On Imagination" by Phillis Wheatley? Imag

Serga [27]

In the poem "On Imagination" by Phyllis Wheatley, imagination was compared to that of a soaring bird probably because the bird can reach the highest of mountains, the clouds and even beyond the sky. Just like the imagination, the bird is limitless and with no boundaries. The bird can see everything up and out there that cannot be seen by common folks much like the imagination wherein everything is possible and anything and everybody exists. The bird just like the imagination flies so high to the vast outer space seeing wonders and beauties as they travel and fly leaving those in time when the imagination needs to go back to reality and the bird to his home.
