Answer:
Tom notices Ben's presence, even though he denies it. Also, Tom considers painting the fence to be work, even if he does not let Ben know this. This creates the effect of dramatic irony.
Explanation:
In this scene, Tom was given the task of painting a fence. He dislikes this work and prefers to play, but is forced to do it because his aunt told him to. When Ben Rogers notices, he tries to make fun of Tom.
First, Tom pretends not to notice him, even though the reader knows that this is not the case. Afterwards, Tom acts as if the task he was given was a difficult one that gives him a lot of pride. This is also not the case, as the reader knows. This convinces Ben of trying to paint the fence as well.The effect created by this scene is one of dramatic irony, as the reader has information that the characters do not have access to.

Answer:
Great depression/stream of consciousness/Regrets and guilts.
Explanation:
As I Stand here Ironing is the story of Emily's life. Her mother -the narrator- is called by some school officials to talk about Emily's behavior at school. As she stands there ironing, she recalls their lives regretfully.
Emily was born during the Great Depression and her fahter left her and her mother because he wouldn't want to 'share poverty' with them. Her mother went through many hardships to raise her up, including the fact that Emily had to be sent away to live with relatives. Her mother remarried -as a symbol of the Great Depression's end, a rebirth, a new life- and years later Emily's stepfather is sent away to fight in WWII.
Emily seems to have lost faith in life and she sees herself intimidated by her sister. In the end, there is a sense of hope in the narrator's voice but the regretful mood stays on.
The Great Depression and the WWII are both very symbolics historical context, they show hardship, lack of hope, poverty and fear among other negative ideas. The setting and the lonely mother standing there ironing expresses the regret and guilt she has for not having been able to raise Emily differently.
