Which best describes the irony in "a man said to the universe"? 1. the man's attempt to communicate with the universe is ignorant. 2. the universe it knowledges the man's existence simply by responding to him. 3. the man can only exist if the university acknowledges his existence. 4. the man is obligated to show respect to the universe

The correct answer is option 2. The universe it knowledges the man's existence simply by responding to him.

Explanation:

In the poem "A Man Said to the Universe" by Stephen Crane there is a clear example of naturalism.

Naturalism is a literary genre in which the universe or nature is shown as the total owner of everything. The universe determines and rules over human life, and downplays it.

In this poem, a man tries to get the attention of the Universe and the Universe knowledges the man's existence, but it seems not to care about how insignificant it is.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
