Review David’s notes in the side column. Why is the ending of each of these poems ironic? btw it has to be a paragraph for the answer

Because the end of each verse of the poem reveals the opposite of what human beings think about themselves.

Explanation:

The irony in a poem is established when the poem exposes the opposite of what is thought of in reality.

We can confirm that the end of each verse of the poem shown above is ironic, because it shows how insignificant the human being is, since if the earth were destroyed, no one would care since this planet and its inhabitants are not relevant to anyone but themselves . In addition, the poem shows that we would all be destroyed, showing that all living beings are equal, the insect, the king, the rich, the poor, the worm, the cockroach and so on.

However, we human beings believe that we are relevant to the universe, just as we think that there is a hierarchy that places human beings above other beings.

absolutism the political belief that one ruler should hold all of the power within the boundaries of a country.

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
