Sarcasm is "a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark or taunt. Irony is a statement that, when taken in context, may actually mean something different from, or the opposite of, what is written literally; the use of words expressing something other than their literal intention, often in a humorous context.

One definition of “irony” is the contrast between what a character in a movie, play, or novel thinks or says and what the audience knows to be true. So it’s “irony” when the movie audience knows the villain is lurking behind the door as the hero opens it, saying “The bad guy is gone.” But when the villain knocks out the hero and says “Gee, what a smart guy,” that’s “sarcasm.”

What do you think the honeysuckle and the bees represent in the story bile

Ivanshal [37]

I believe, honeysuckle and bees represent the little glimmer of hopes that the narrator felt to escape the toxicity in his house.
Whenever the father start yelling again, the beautiful view of honeysuckle and the sounds made by the bees will help the narrator to seclude all noises from the screaming father.

Explanation:

The Beginning of the Maasai is a myth told to us by a daughter of Neiterkob, father of Maasai tribe. Neiterkob`s father is god Enkai. She has no special treatment from her father, so she takes care of the cattle with other members of the tribe. Once volcano erupted and sent all the cattle to the sky (cows flying through the air among the dusty clouds). The tribe can not survive without the cattle, so god Enkai provides them with a giant tree that connects the earth and the sky, so that cattle can walk down to them.
