Which of these excerpts from poems by Emily Dickinson uses irony? My cocoon tightens, colors tease, I'm feeling for the air; A d

im capacity for wings Degrades the dress I wear. Could she have guessed that it would be; Could but a crier of the glee Have climbed the distant hill; Had not the bliss so slow a pace, — Who knows but this surrendered face Were undefeated still? One dignity delays for all, One mitred afternoon. None can avoid this purple, None evade this crown. There's a certain slant of light, On winter afternoons, That oppresses, like the weight Of cathedral tunes. Heavenly hurt it gives us; We can find no scar, But internal difference Where the meanings are. Exultation is the going Of an inland soul to sea, — Past the houses, past the headlands, Into deep eternity!

In my view, the entire poem embodies irony - while it discusses the joy associated with death's royal hue, the opening lines indicate that the speaker struggles to breathe and does not wish to die.
Thus, the ironic aspects include:
Exultation signifies the transition
From an inland spirit to the sea, -
Beyond the dwellings, beyond the cliffs,
Into vast eternity.

Naddika [7460]
This statement should be omitted from the editorial since it repeats the argument that the United States should abandon nine-month school calendars in favor of year-round schooling. Additionally, in sentence 1, it should either be (help enhance a student's achievement) or (assist students in achieving success).

Write 2 or 3 sentences describing how bly reacts to the judges questions and comments
Flura [7041]

Greetings. Your question requires additional context to offer a complete response, but I'll do my best to assist you.

If you mean Nellie Bly, we can state that she reacted to the judge’s inquiries and remarks in a critical and accusatory way. This is due to her perception that the judge was inadequate in determining someone’s sanity by failing to adequately analyze the facts. In addition, she expressed her accusatory stance by saying the judge disregards the defense of the accused despite how credible that individual may seem, thus jeopardizing the chance of an innocent person escaping a dire situation in an asylum.
