In this adapted excerpt from James Joyce's short story "Araby," what literary device does the author use to describe the scene?

We walked through the flaring streets, jostled by loud men and bargaining women, amid the shrill litanies of shop-boys who stood on guard by the barrels of food, the nasal chanting of street-singers, who sang a come-all-you about O'Donovan Rossa, or a ballad about the troubles in our native land.

I was convicted of a crime and I was taken into a trial with a judge, jury and I was trying to justify the actions I partook in. I claimed that two witnesses at the event had committed perjury and I proposed a fair alibi. My road to justice had been blocked by the judicial decision to mark me as guilty. Their jurisdiction offended me, as they clearly had some racial bias that I was a victim to, I strongly believe that my trial was not just.

Lines 16–18: Paraphrase these lines. What makes these remarks ironic? How does this help build suspense
Tamiku [17]

Verbal irony is the use of words to express something in a way that is other than it seems. It can be revealed by noting the original nature of the objects involved. Say for example, when you see an ugly t-shirt printing and you say out loudly “What a beautiful print!”
