In McKay’s poem he illustrates a theme of the pure courage and will power needed to take part in battle, the grinding and grit needed when your back is up against a wall, that feeling that today could be your last. This is the feeling I had since day one of stepping on to that field at the college level. I believe that McKay wrote this poem with direct links to his college experience as well. In 1906 he attended a trade school that was burnt down to the ground after his first year of attendance. He could have just given up on his writing career but he kept plugging away and was noticed by Walter Jekyll, an English buff who became McKay’s mentor and pushed him in the right direction (Giles).
In fact, Jones used situational irony to draw attention to the main parts of the story such as when Ned had died from winning the lottery after playing his whole life, only to die from shock shortly after. Another example would be when the man who worked for the lottery was divining back after issuing the cheque almost hit the phone booth with the woman in it, he did miss it but unfortunately in his attempts to avoid it he had caused another vehicle to swerve out of control and knock it off the mountain. What made this so important and ironic is that she was the only person in the village that had not agreed to sign saying that she will lie about Ned being alive and strangely enough… It is actually the priest who had hit her off the mountain and killed her. Evidently it is quite obvious that Kirk Jones had intentionally used irony at a good portion of the main events in the film to help build the viewer’s interest and to move the plot forward throughout the film. Similarly to Waking Ned Devine, Frank O’Conner’s The Drunkard uses one very obvious form of irony, Situational.
As the audience reads more into Frank’s stories, we get an idea that he wasn’t supportive of his son joining the United States military in the beginning. This tone that Frank uses is a pathos form of writing which helps the audience connect with the author. As he drives home from taking his son to boot camp, the author loses his way home a couple times, to not knowing how to feel about John leaving. Schaeffer paints a picture of being discombobulated. Although Frank questions himself saying “Why the hell is John joining the military” (630) by the end, we have an author who is very proud and glad..

Is this a commentary on the modern day passiveness towards death and violence? That a boy should fall from the sky to his death for no one to notice, except for his own father, is certainly a kind of indifference. Wendy A. Shaffer, in comparison, questions if Icarus would have listened had Daedalus not spoken in the same tone used in his everyday chastisements. The theme of father and son has also brought about works depicting Daedalus’ reaction to his son’s death. Anne Sexton tells of Icarus plunging to his death “while his sensible daddy goes straight to town,” in her poem ‘To a Friend Whose Work has come to Triumph.’ In the myth Daedalus searches the ocean for his lost son.

Images were racing wild through my mind as I thought about my teammates going to battle without me. I had played with some of these guys since we were in eighth grade, and when they needed me the most, all I could do is sit and cheer. I hated the feeling of helplessness, but at the same time I knew I had to do what little I could do, well. It was two days until the first game of my junior year in high school football season. My team and I were going to play St. Rita, a battle we had persistently prepared for since the last game of our sophmore year.
However, the seasonal number of lost hives has increased significantly in the last few years. This recent spike has a couple red flags; it comes without obvious cause and the honey bees seemingly abandon their hives en masse. Unfortunately, it is not just concentrated to the United States and has become a global issue with Europe and China experiencing the same dramatic drop in honey bee population. Without honey bees, consumers could face challenges with food shortages or the loss of the food entirely. Unknown to most, honey is not the most important measure of a honey bee.
