English

grin007 [14]3 years ago
8 0
This phrase is in reference to how Atticus dealt with Mayella on the stand during Tom Robinson's trial. Mayella testified that Tom Robinson raped her and beat her up. During his questioning, Atticus found holes in Mayella's story. He got her confused and made her sound as though she wasn't sure about the details or that she wasn't as strong of a person as she'd like to be. This made it difficult for Mayella to twist the truth to make Tom Robinson seem guilty so she stopped talking. She gave some testimony and then quit answering questions all together. Unfortunately, even though Atticus's questioning of Mayella revealed some significant inconsistencies and improbabilities the jury still convicted Tom Robinson because of his race.

, identify a moment of irony from the Second Episode of Oedipus the King and explain why it's ironic.
Hoochie [10]
Irony is like sarcasm: you can say "oh yeah, that sounds SO fun" and mean "that doesn't sound fun at all"
Irony in a situation is when, for example, you do everything you can to prevent something from happening, but your trying to prevent it is what makes it happen.
It is also a literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the full significance of a character's words or actions are clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.
