Answer:

The irony of these lines is that Jonas lied about the busy pleasant night he had had and his father did it too, unaware that what he was doing was very wrong.

Explanation:

These lines from The Giver show us great irony.

The irony is that that day, Jonas discovered how his father killed an innocent twin baby. This was not pleasant for Jonas, however when he tells his parents he says something else and that is the irony.

In turn, his father also lies saying that he had a busy and pleasant day. The irony is also in those words, since there is nothing pleasant in killing a baby. The irony is that his father did not know what he was doing, as these people have had all feelings and emotions suppressed, and he believed he was doing his job.

Natali [406]

The Ewells know that they are the lowest of the low amongst the whites in Maycomb. They have no money, no education, and no breeding. The single thing that elevates them at any level in the community is the fact that they're white. Like most people in similar situations, Bob and Mayella would like to better their station in life. However, Bob is unwilling to put forth the effort necessary to change his family's lot and Mayella doesn't have the resources to change her own life.

With her mother dead, Mayella becomes a surrogate wife for her father and mother for her younger siblings. The fact that Mayella wants a better life for herself is evidenced by the red geraniums she grows so lovingly — they're the only sign of beauty in a dismal, filthy shack and yard. She can't attend school because she has to take care of her younger siblings, especially when her father leaves on days-long drinking binges. She's involved in an incestuous and abusive relationship, but she doesn't have anywhere to go or anyone to help her. At 19, her future is set. She will most likely stay with her family, continuing to be both sexually and physically abused, until she marries and starts the cycle anew.
