English
1 answer:
sergiy2304 [10]3 years ago
8 0

The Irony and the pun in the sentences are as follows:

1. Ned said, I just love working in the hot sun. When can we do this again?"

The above sentence shows irony ,as no one would want to work in the hot sun, but Ned is expressing contrary to it.

2. Billy Fisher was a minor character and remained one as an adult  

The above phrase show a play with words and also depicts dark humor, as it suggests the Billy would be a minor, even as an adult. Thus this suggests pun in the sentence.

3. Kara read that Tom Sawyer tricked the boys. What a good friend!" she  remarked.

This sentence shows irony, as what is being exclaimed by Kara is the opposite to what Tom's deed are.

4.His friend's none the wiser, Tom surveyed the results of his whitewashing.

This sentence suggests neither irony, nor pun.

In complete sentences, explain how it is used to convey meaning in the poem.
natka813 [3]
The writer used the figurative language, Hyperbole.Hyperbole is most of the time used as an exaggeration that adds humor to the story. 
For example : “Your voice is like bells over roofs at dawn” the writer means that the voice is loud. “Say little things” - the writer means to talk in a slow manner. “For my ears to catch” - the writer means for her to hear  and get what it means “And run with them to my heart.”  - this way the writer may remember the memories.
