In chapter 5, Jonathan Culler has described the importance of both poetry and rhetoric, which are totally different from each other, and also how they are connected to each other. There are a few important rhetorical figures, where some theorists believe that is important in both rhetoric and poetry. These are metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, and irony. Among this technique, I personally believe that irony is an interesting technique that is used in the poem.

For example, in the poem called “The Sea is History” the First stanza and the second line where they have used the word “Sirs”, which is actually plural forms, means must be more than one voice indicate of being two males in the poem, with a little use of Irony.
