In Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, Goines tries to show the reader, in a satirical way, that some small issues are better left “asleep”. He uses imagery (irony and mockery for example), which is a figurative language, to describe and attack the bureaucracy of the United States government and ridicules the drafting system.

He uses satire as a literary device to speak about a complex subject in a more understandable way, putting out the idea of a sleeping dog which, at first, seems to be harmless because it is asleep, but then turns into a very big and dangerous problem when it is awaken.

the weapons act without bias

The things that are falling are bombs. The bombs do not care what they hit. They do not have a preference for roads, roofs, thickets, or people. The bombers drop them with a specific target line up, but the bomb does not care what that is. This adds to the overall tone and mood of the poem.

Vesna [10]
The poem "One, Two, Three" suggests an indecisive tone because Senesh was uncertain as to the time of her death. One line that demonstrates this tone is "<span>Life is a fleeting question mark". By describing life as a question mark, she shows the uncertainty of life. Also the use of the words may and maybe add to the indecisive tone as they are words of possibility rather than certainty. </span>

What makes the ending of "The Necklace" Ironic? Atleast a one paragraph response!
tatuchka [14]
The necklace is ironic in the fact that when the necklace is borrowed it is believed to be a real diamond necklace. When she loses the "diamond necklace" she works very long to repay the person she borrowed from because she thinks the necklace she lost was worth much money. When she gives the money to the person she borrowed from and confesses that she lost it she was told that the necklace was a fake and that she worried and worked for many years over nothing. This is an example of situational irony. She thought the necklace was worth very much money when it was really only worth very little
