Figurative Language:
A paradox is an apparent
contradiction that is nevertheles somehow true and also it may be either a
situation or a statement.
1.
Paradox
The moon
brighter to overcast my eyes
to keep me in
dark of night
in that line there is a contracdictory between brighter
and overcast. It just reveals of imagination of the writer that something brighter
is contradict with overcast.
2.
Dramatic irony
the discrepancy is not between what the speaker says and
what speaker means but it is between what the speaker says and what the poem
means.
I take the the example of dramatic irony from our poem in
memory of you, that my friend told you before, our poem described about tragedy
in past time, the memory of person who loved her mother and now its become the
sweet memories because she was pass away.
The forehead kisses
Give the last touches when I asleep
When I open my
eyes
I feel,, just in
night, I hear the soft voice of you
She wes there,,
The wind brings
her soul in far away
I was alone to keep my sweet memories
Clotted longging through your shedow
For those stanza describe about the sorrownes condiotion
where the someone feel disappearance his mother and now just in his memeory.
3.
Situational irony
Situational irony is a style employed when the author
creates a situation and leads the reader to believe that a certain ending is
expected, when the actual ending is completely in contrast.
In
this part there’s an irony refers to the contrast between what is expected and
what actually occurs. Those describe the happiness inside the sadness of in memory of you, because in first stanza was described
about the happiness of child who in every night in every day mother always
present to give the smooth love but it is not in long time.
You are the sunlight in my day
You are the one that makes trouble be gone
You are the words inside my song
You are the eyes that help me to see
She wes there,,
The wind brings her soul in far away
I was alone to keep my sweet memories
Clotted longging through your shedow
4.
Verbal irony
Verbal irony as the figurative language of irony which
often use in daily languge. Verbal irony it means that people say something
which contradicts with what they imply,
for the example of verbal irony i thke from song by pink, the tittle
I just guessi just lost my husband, i don’t know where he
went
And i don’t need you, I’m havin more fun, and now that we
are done.
