Irony is like sarcasm: you can say "oh yeah, that sounds SO fun" and mean "that doesn't sound fun at all"
Irony in a situation is when, for example, you do everything you can to prevent something from happening, but your trying to prevent it is what makes it happen.
It is also a literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the full significance of a character's words or actions are clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.

Why do you think that Warren Brown includes the fact that Colin Powell moved from Harlem to the Bronx when he was three years ol

alexira [117]

Answer with Explanation:

1. Why do you think that Warren Brown includes the fact that Colin Powell moved from Harlem to the Bronx when he was three years old?

Warren Brown included the fact that Colin Powell moved from Harlem to the Bronx in order to show that he was brought up in a black community until he was three years old. It also shows how he grew up in a better-living area compared to that of the Harlem. The Bronx contained many immigrants and it this is where Colin was raised. This allowed Colin to mingle with different nationals and not mind the color of his skin.

2. What does this suggest about his parents?

This suggested that his parents (Luther and Maud) were concerned about rearing their children in a nicer community rather than the Harlem. They wanted Colin and Marylin to grow up with "confidence" and "discipline." They wanted the best for their children.
