1. When Mr. Goodenwell saw his baby boy Vince for the first time, he swore that he’d do anything to protect the little guy. This
was easy at first. All Vince did was lie in a pillow and drink milk. But soon little Vince grew bigger, and then he started walking. Now little Vince got into everything. Vince’s curiosity was becoming a serious threat to himself. So Mr. Good Well went to the store and bought $150 worth of equipment to protect his home. He put covers on the outlets, bumpers on the table corners, and a sliding lock on the toilet lid. As Mr. Goodenwell was adjusting the covers on the door knobs, Vince pulled the cap off an outlet and chewed on it. It got lodged in his throat and Vince began to choke. Mr. Good well found him just in time. What type of irony is being used in this scenario? The irony being used in this scenario is situational.
What text evidence supports your answer? “Vince pulled the cap off an outlet and chewed on it. It got lodged in his throat and Vince began to choke. Mr. Good well found him just in time.”
The irony in this question is that Mr. Goodenwell was trying to keep his son safe and in the act of this his son got hurt with part of the equipment that was supposed to keep him safe.
Voltaire make his aliens in a different size from humans to bring the idea how small are the humans in the context of the universe. The central idea is to create a sense of vastness and the insignificance of humans beings.
