For, she doesn't realize how illogical this act is, not to mention hypocritical. ]]> 2019-02-25 14:35:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334863894 dbernhardson https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334865449 Miss Merriweather is a character who is completely unrealistic about herself. She tells another of the ladies, "I tell you, Gertrude, you never ought to let an opportunity go by to witness for the Lord." However, she is very "unChristian" in her remarks about "the darkies" who have grumbled and been dissatisfied about Tom Robinson's arrest. ]]> 2019-02-25 14:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334865449 dbernhardson https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334866941 An example of Situational Irony: When Mrs. Merriweather continues her derogatory remarks, referring to Atticus as "misguided" and Miss Maudie arrests her in hypocrisy with sharp retorts that point to her hypocrisy. Aunt Alexandria "gave Miss Maudie a look of pure gratitude." Scout wonders "at the world of women" in this instance of situational irony in which there is a discrepancy between the expected result of Miss Merriweather's words and actions and the actual result]]> 2019-02-25 14:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334866941 dbernhardson https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334868272 After Atticus returns home, pale with the sickening news of Tom Robinson's death, Miss Maudie comforts Aunt Alexandria, who, having seen her brother's condition, becomes angered with the stress that the town puts upon Atticus. Miss Maudie tells Alexandria in another example of situational irony, "Whether Maycomb knows it or not, we're paying the highest tribute we can pay a man. We trust him to do right." ]]> 2019-02-25 14:42:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334868272 https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334871116 Something ironic is when Aunt Alexandra is having a missionary circle and they are supposed to be talking about how to help J. Grimes Everett's missionary work, but they're just bad mouthing black people, and this is ironic. An example is when Miss Maudie says: "His food doesn't stick going down does it?" She is saying this to Mrs.Merriweather and calling her out for the fact that she is ridiculing the defense of black people.      -Alex and Zacoben]]> 2019-02-25 14:46:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334871116 https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334872099 During the Missionary circle the group takes bad about black people while Calpurnia is serving them -Zacoben and Alex]]> 2019-02-25 14:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334872099 https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334872914 Irony: "Aunt Alexandra and her missionary circle were fighting the good fight... Mrs. Grace Merriweather was giving a report in the living room about the squalid lives of the Mrunas"- gossip is not normally the good fight. Irony: "Well, I always say forgive and forget, forgive and forget... so this whole thing will blow over... the field hands are dissatisfied" Doesn't want to forgive to forgive, wants to forgive to not lose unpaid labor. -Olivia & AJ ]]> 2019-02-25 14:48:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334872914 https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334873493 "Aunt Alexandra, I guess , because she had let Calpurnia serve today." This is ironic because usually Aunt Alexandra is super picky of what Calpurnia is doing, but since Alexandra has friends coming over, she wants them to know that she is served by a colored person.]]> 2019-02-25 14:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334873493 https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334873621 Grant ]]> 2019-02-25 14:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334873621 https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334873861 Brady, Jonas, Makylee rea, Halle- the irony is when aunt Alexandra doesn't let Cal make the tea cake, when it's all right for her to cook daily for the Finch family.]]> 2019-02-25 14:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334873861 https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334873935 Aunt Alexandra has a missionary circle thing and they talk bad about blacks and good about whites.....sam and evan]]> 2019-02-25 14:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334873935 https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334874188 Jonathan Xing - Mrs. Merriweather sings Amazing Grace out loud but she complains about the Negroes. "I tell you there's nothing more distracting than a sulky darky... Just ruins your day to have one of 'em in the kitchen." Mrs. Merriweather is also hypocritical when she tells Sophy that, "Jesus never went around grumbling and complaining."]]> 2019-02-25 14:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334874188 https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334874507 something ironic is that the missionary group is talking about how to help people in Africa and are being served by Cal while talking bad about black people -Addy]]> 2019-02-25 14:51:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334874507 https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334875465 "So did Aunt Alexandra, I guess, because she had let Calpurnia serve today." This sentence from the text seems to be ironic because Aunt Alexandra is not hating on Calpurnia, when she usually does.

This is ironic because they are claiming piety in discriminating against black people, which is hypocritical. They became hypocrites by calling someone else a hypocrite. ]]> 2019-02-25 16:02:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334922475 https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334922628 -John and Jacob]]> 2019-02-25 16:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334922628 https://padlet.com/kristenfriesen3/t513ueuwqflj/wish/334983293 Sasha and Kate - we find it ironic that scout was forced to wear a dress while Aunt Alexandria had company over.
