Answer: Understatement

This is a case of understatement. An understatement is a rhetorical device that gives an expression of lesser strength than what would be expected. Understatement is used for emphasis and irony. In this case, Hayley states that her test was "not bad." This is an understatement, as he score was 100%, which is in fact excellent.

In at least one hundred and fifty words, explain the symbolic importance of the iron in the short story "I Stand Here Ironing".
motikmotik
<span>The iron is a  symbolic representation and a mirror of the struggles of the narrator as a mother. Tillie Olsen, the author of the book became a young mother during the 1940s. This led to her shifting her dreams of becoming a writer into taking care and raising her four children. <span>

</span>The story was focused on the struggles of working-class women who wanted to balance their family life as well as provide for their families. Ironing people’s clothes was one of those home-bound activities that women can do back then while at the same time help them raise their children.

The iron is also a symbolic representation of motherhood, and that it can be a tiring but also a fulfilling task that a mother can do. The story talks about humbling experiences (i.e. being a working class woman) that can still lead to values that are life-affirming. The setting of the story was during the period of nuclear war and economic recession and what women have to go through to raise their families and portray themselves as mothers in a struggling environment. <span>
