<span>Atticus loses, but the African American community showers him with gifts.
This is ironic because we do not normally give the loser gifts. In this case the African American community are giving gifts to Atticus because of the way he stood up for Tom Robinson. He made sure that the truth came out and treated the African American community with respect. 

Bob Ewell wins the court decision, but vows to get Atticus if it takes the rest of his life.
This is ironic because the winner is not expected to get revenge on the loser - he won! However, even though Bob Ewell wins the court decision he feels disrespected by Atticus. By revealing the possible truth of his violence towards Mayella and showing him to be a liar, Atticus shows Bob Ewell to be a bad person even though he is not on trial. This foreshadows the events that happen at the end of the book.

Dill wants to be a clown, but a clown that laughs at the crowd. 
This is ironic because clown is not the person who laughs at the crowd. The crowd laughs at the clown. Jem points this out and says, "You go it backwards...</span>Clowns are sad, it’s folks that laugh at them." This further shows Dill's characterization.

As montag reads and mildred blankly stares on that cold november afternoon, what color does bradbury use to describe the silent
ikadub [295]
Bradbury repeatedly uses the color gray to describe the parlor. He chooses this color to show the depressing nature of the parlor. He sees the viewing parlor as a way for people to turn off from experiencing life and the world around them. All the vibrancy of life is drained out.
In contrast when he talks about the park he uses the color green. Green symbolizes life, growth, vitality. He's showing that society has become dull and miserable inside their homes instead of alive and joyous in the world.
