<span>Atticus loses, but the African American community showers him with gifts.
This is ironic because we do not normally give the loser gifts. In this case the African American community are giving gifts to Atticus because of the way he stood up for Tom Robinson. He made sure that the truth came out and treated the African American community with respect.
Bob Ewell wins the court decision, but vows to get Atticus if it takes the rest of his life.
This is ironic because the winner is not expected to get revenge on the loser - he won! However, even though Bob Ewell wins the court decision he feels disrespected by Atticus. By revealing the possible truth of his violence towards Mayella and showing him to be a liar, Atticus shows Bob Ewell to be a bad person even though he is not on trial. This foreshadows the events that happen at the end of the book.
Dill wants to be a clown, but a clown that laughs at the crowd.
This is ironic because clown is not the person who laughs at the crowd. The crowd laughs at the clown. Jem points this out and says, "You go it backwards...</span>Clowns are sad, it’s folks that laugh at
them." This further shows Dill's characterization.
Answer:
John didn't sleep well because C. he heard heavy traffic and car horns.
Explanation:
John and Audrey are characters in the story "The First Day of School", by R. V. Cassil. The story begins with John waiting for his sister Audrey as the time for the them to go to school gets closer. Audrey has slept all night, but John hasn't. He could hear heavy traffic at midnight, so he wasn't able to sleep at all after that:
<em>She must have slept all right - and for this John felt both envy and a faint resentment. He had not really slept since midnight. The heavy traffic in town, the long wail of horns as somebody raced in on the U.S. highway holding the horn button down, and the restless murmur, like the sound of a celebration down in the courthouse square, had kept him awake after that. Each time a car had passed their house his breath had gone tight and sluggish. It was better to stay awake and ready, he had told himself, than to be caught asleep.</em>
It turns out that John and Audrey are African Americans. Their first day of school is filled with tension and anxiety, since they and a few others will be the first ones to attend a school for white people in his town. The National Guard has been called to protect them from all the people who have gathered to jeer and boo - and maybe even attack - them as they make their way to school.
