Answer:

The irony about Jen's step-dad working for the Population police is that he broke the rule of the Population Police of having two children, by having a third child, and yet working for the organization.

Explanation:

'Among the Hidden' is a novel written by Margaret Peterson Haddix. The novel is about a society, where the Population Police has prohibited families for having more than two children.

Jen, just like Luke, is a third child in her family. Jen's mother had two sons before Jen, but she decided to have a girl on purpose, so they bribed the doctor and had Jen as a third child. The irony about Jen's step-dad working for the Population Police is that he broke the rule of having two children by having a third child, yet he is working for the Population Police. He is working for the organization, whose rule he has broken, so this is the irony.

Who were the cunningham boys and what happened to them? whats the irony here

Sedbober [7]

The Cunningham boys were troublemaking teenagers who were arrested with Arthur "Boo" Radley. Boo was taken home and locked away from the world by his father but the Cunninghams were sentenced to attend a state juvenile hall of the 1930s. The irony here is that the school actually gave them great education and one of the Cunninghams went to college to become an engineer.

Hope this helps =]
