Read the following discussion: RAY:
In A Farewell to Arms, one of the things Hemingway seems
to be saying is that war has a really profound effect on
people's minds once they've participated in it. Even the title
suggests that one of the story's real concerns is how Henry
is going to be able to mentally leave the war behind.
ELSA:
I think so too. And it's clear that he has a hard time
detaching himself from the life of the soldier. He acts really
cool, but at times it's obvious that the war has gotten to
him. Like when he shoots the engineer who can't get the
car unstuck. Henry is clearly a guy carrying around a lot of
stress
NICK:
Is it possible that the title has a double meaning, though?
Is it possible that "arms" refers not just to the war but to
something else as well? ZOE:
Oh, definitely. It's also "arms" in a romantic sense, for sure.
One of the themes of the novel seems to be that the world
is a pretty cruel place, so it's not just a matter of Henry
having to say farewell to the war, but to the idea that the
world has room for things like love and beauty. It's a pretty
dark story

Hich line in this excerpt from jonathan swift's "a modest proposal" uses the rhetorical device of irony? and secondly, (there being a round million of creatures in humane figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a common stock, would leave them in debt two million of pounds sterling), adding those who are beggars by profession, to the bulk of farmers, cottagers and labourers, with their wives and children, who are beggars in effect; i desire those politicians who dislike my overture, and may perhaps be so bold to attempt an answer, that they will first ask the parents of these mortals, whether they would not at this day think it a great happiness to have been sold for food at a year old, in the manner i prescribe, and thereby have avoided such a perpetual scene of misfortunes, as (they have since gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor cloaths to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather,) and the most inevitable prospect of intailing the like, or greater miseries, upon their breed for ever. i profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that( i have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country,) by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich.( i have no children, by which i can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing. reset next)
