I believe the tone is somewhat dramatic based on the dialogue such as "shot his hand out in front of him", it makes the story seem a lot more interesting than what it really is; a normal encounter.
Just read about a time in your life that he regretted saying something to a friend or family member
I believe that the part that uses the satirical tone is the part that criticizes old, sickly people. Hope this helps!<span />
If it is for math, use a calculator or ask ur parents and teachers. For English, dictionary, and ask ur parents or teachers. For social studies, use the web or books, u can ask ur parents and teachers too.
Hope this helped!
