The reason why is Ms. Jackson is a caring, overprotective mother, but she ends up getting something that suppose to protect, but does the opposite. For example, it states, "Ms. Jackson immediately purchased electrical outlet covers to protect her son.  The next afternoon she heard her son choking and ran over to him. He was choking on one of the electrical outlet plug covers she purchased."

Ms. Jackson has a flashback of when she got shocked from the electrical outlet, so she decides to buy a cover, so her son doesn't do the same thing. This is ironic because at the end, her son was choking on the protective cap that's suppose to prevent people from getting shocked by the outlet.]]> 2021-03-25 14:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353054829 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353056710 Situational irony helps characterize the character because they learn from their mistakes. In the story we see that Ms. Jackson is trying to protect her son from the electrical shocks, but she only hurts her son when she is trying to protect him. This is situational irony, because the thing that was supposed to protect her child only made it harder for her to live. ]]> 2021-03-25 14:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353056710 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353057192 The character is characterized through the use of situational irony because Ms. Jackson bought the electric cord to save her son, but put her son in danger. Since Ms.Jackson had a flashback when she was young and had a bad shock from the electrical outlet. Ms. Jackson didn't want the same for her son so she had bought it, but it brought the son in danger because he chocked on it instead. "He was choking on one of the electrical outlet plug covers she purchased" This shows that the thing that was meant to protect the child, almost killed the child. This is situational irony because the situation occurred the opposite way that Ms. Jackson had thought about.  ]]> 2021-03-25 14:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353057192 jocelync123 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353057413 The character is characterized as a overprotective mother who didn't think before buying. I was able to characterize Ms. Jackson with situational irony. Ms. Jackson cares for her son a tremendous amount and because of this she didn't think of the outcomes of her action. She had caused her son to choke of an item she had bought to protect him. She brought an outlet protecter without think that her son could get hurt by choking on it. You would expect a outlet protector to keep you safe because the purpose of it was to protect you fro unwanted electrocution. This is ironic because the very thing Ms. Jackson had trusted to keep her son safe, ended up hurting him. ]]> 2021-03-25 14:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353057413 briannad166 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353058861 The character is characterized through the use of situational irony because Mrs. Jackson was trying to protect and care for her son. She decided it would be a good idea to buy electrical outlet plug covers, since Vinnie was starting to walk. She remembered that when she was a child she used to stick her fingers through the electrical outlets, and therefore she did not want the same thing to happen to her son. But she did not think before acting, or before buying she did not notice that it could lead to other consequences. She tried to protect her son from danger, but instead put him in danger because the electrical outlets almost killed her son. ]]> 2021-03-25 14:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353058861 joshuaf269 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353062006 The character is characterized through the use of situational irony because of how the mother wanted to keep her child safe however it ended up backfiring and proposed a danger to her child instead.

This quote shows how the method she tried to keep her child safe ended up backfiring on her due to how her child ended up choking on the electrical outlet plug covers.]]> 2021-03-25 14:20:18 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353062006 wmitten https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353062089 The character is being characterized through the use of Situation Irony. The reason why is Ms. Jackson is a loving mom. She may be an overprotective mother,, but she ends up getting something that suppose to protect, but does the opposite. For example, it states, "Ms. Jackson immediately purchased electrical outlet covers to protect her son.  The next afternoon she heard her son choking and ran over to him. He was choking on one of the electrical outlet plug covers she purchased." This is Situational Irony because outlet covers are supposed to help you not get shocked or choking. The mother purchased something to save her son from pain, but the item that is supposed to save him from pain almost kills the 2 year old boy,]]> 2021-03-25 14:20:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353062089 denised43 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353066607 The character is characterized through the use of situational irony because Ms. Jackson cared deeply and  tried to protect her son, Vinny from any danger whilst he was still little. She remembered the fact that she stuck her finger into a electrical outlet and received a horrible electrical shock from it. Worried it might happen to her kid as well she purchased outlet covers. The irony comes in the next morning when she hears Vinny choking on the outlet covers she bought. It says " The next afternoon she heard her son choking and ran over to him. He was choking on one of the electrical outlet plug covers she purchased." This is a example of irony because while trying to protect her child a new danger appeared when she bought outlet covers to protect her child. These covers that were meant to protect Vinny actually caused a new danger to him.

We see this because she seems overprotective over what happened to her and wants her son to be safe. For example, it states,"Ms. Jackson immediately purchased electrical outlet covers to protect her son.  The next afternoon she heard her son choking and ran over to him.

The reason she is characterized as Situation Irony is because she thought her son was going to get electrocuted because the same thing happened to her before so she went out and went to buy electrical outlet cover the next afternoon her son was choking. There for this is Situation Irony because the outlet protectors are supposed to help not get electrocuted but instead the baby was choking ]]> 2021-03-25 16:48:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353908057 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353908844 This is an example of Situational Irony because Ms.Jackson is demonstrated as a person who does everything to protect and keep her son safe and cares for him. She had a memory of her getting hurt as a child and did what she could to protect her son from everything she could. For example the texts states "Ms. Jackson immediately purchased electrical outlet covers to protect her son. The next afternoon she heard her son choking and ran over to him. He was choking on one of the electrical outlet plug covers she purchased." Based on this it illustrates irony because no one not even Ms.Jackson would expect her son to chock on what she bought to protect him, rather he would've gotten hurt by the wires as she image she did as a child. It is showing the complete opposite of what we hoped wouldn't happen resulting in the irony of the situation. ]]> 2021-03-25 16:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353908844 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353913172 Situational Irony helps characterize the chracter because it shows the real personality of the chracter like in the example of Ms jackson the overprotective mother.]]> 2021-03-25 16:49:15 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353913172 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353914302 The character is being characterized through situational irony because that she tries to protect her son from being shock from the electrical outlet because that she had a very bad flash back from when she got shocked when she stuck her finger in the electrical outlet.

However, when she had a memory of her getting hurt from electric plugs, she bought plug covers thinking that her son will continue to stay safe. But after she had done so, the next day her son was chocking on one of the plug covers, they are supposed to help you not get shocked but the situation was unexpected by the mother when she saw her son choking instead. For example, it stated that "Upon observing this, Ms. Jackson had a flashback of sticking her finger in an electrical outlet and getting a bad shock when she was a child.  Ms. Jackson immediately purchased electrical outlet covers to protect her son. The next afternoon she heard her son choking and ran over to him. He was choking on one of the electrical outlet plug covers she purchased." This proves that Situational Irony is shown through Ms. Jackson expecting her son to be protected from electricity through the covers, but instead he started choking. This was the opposite of his mother's expectations which is ironic because she thought it would have a positive impact, not danger him.

So when she remembered a memory of her getting hurt from an electrical outlet , she didn't want her son to face the same thing. Upon this, she bought plug covers so that her son doesn't get hurt but instead he chokes on the covers which makes it useless that it was meant for him not to get hurt but instead he could die anyways. It states, "Ms. Jackson immediately purchased electrical outlet covers to protect her son.  The next afternoon she heard her son choking and ran over to him. He was choking on one of the electrical outlet plug covers she purchased". This quote conveys that the plug covers were meant to protect her son but still harmed him anyways. It put his life in danger when it was meant to protect him which conveys some sort of irony. ]]> 2021-03-25 16:50:27 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353920774 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353933301 This is an example of situational irony. Ms. Jackson can be characterized as a person who cares deeply for her child, Vinny, but might not be the smartest person or the most aware. You would think that she was trying to protect her son from what she experienced in the smartest possible way by the way she “immediately purchased electrical outlet covers to protect her son”. However, her son managed to take one of the electrical covers and choke on it, maybe because it wasn’t firmly in the outlet or the cover was too small and Ms. Jackson, in efforts to protect him, had put him in danger which is the opposite of what she was trying to do or ironic. ]]> 2021-03-25 16:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353933301 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353968420 She’s overprotective because she wants her son to be safe ]]> 2021-03-25 16:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1353968420 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1354003779 The character is being characterized through the use of situation irony.The reason why is because something weird and kind of awful happened.The son got electrocuted so the lady went and bought covers for thr outlets.But then the son was choking which shows how even after she bought those the baby was still unsafe.]]> 2021-03-25 17:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1354003779 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1354134301 The character is being characterized through the use of situational irony because as her being a protective mother, she wanted her child to be safe.

It states “ Ms. Jackson immediately purchased electrical outlet covers to protect her son.  The next afternoon she heard her son choking and ran over to him. He was choking on one of the electrical outlet plug covers she purchased.“ This quote demonstrates irony because the mother bought electrical outlets to protect his son from getting shocked but those protectors ended up hurting her own down.

Is because ms. Jackson is protective and caring but ends up harming her son when she tries to buy something to protect him. It states in the text"Upon observing this, Ms. Jackson had a flashback of sticking her finger in an electrical outlet and getting a bad shock when she was a child.  Ms. Jackson immediately purchased electrical outlet covers to protect her son.  The next afternoon she heard her son choking and ran over to him. He was choking on one of the electrical outlet plug covers she purchased." this piece of evidence shows situational irony because she bought it to protect him but it actually did more harm then good.

So in order to prevent him from getting hurt the next day she bought some outlets to keep his son from getting hurt.I feel like it was also a bad idea becase the baby chocked on it the next day as stated "The next afternoon she heard her son choking and ran over to him. He was choking on one of the electrical outlet plug covers she purchased."]]> 2021-03-27 14:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1359911242 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1418789625 Its a situational irony is because she rembered a time she got shock and she decided to buy a thing to avoid her son to get shock. In the text it states " ticking her finger in an electrical outlet and getting a bad shock when she was a child.  Ms. Jackson immediately purchased electrical outlet covers to protect her son.  The next afternoon she heard her son choking and ran over to him. He was choking on one of the electrical outlet plug covers she purchased." So we can see that she was trying to prevent it but something worse happened.

In the story we see that Ms. Jackson is trying to protect her son from the electrical shocks, but she only hurts her son when she is trying to protect him. This is situational irony, because the thing that was supposed to protect her child from being hurt only hurt her child more. ]]> 2021-04-28 14:32:33 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1469318046 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1470277167 The character is being characterized through the use of Situation Irony because Ms.jackson wanted to keep her son safe so that he does not make the same mistake she did which was sticking her finger in an electrical outlet and getting a bad shock but she made the mistake of buying outlet covers and next thing you know her son is choking on the outlet covers.

The reason why I say this is because the mother is overprotective and she was so focused on it that instead of protecting her son she put him at risk. In the paragraph it states “Ms Jackson immediately purchased electrical outlet covers to protect her son... he was choking on one of the plug covers she had purchased.” This shows that she didn’t even realize she put her son at risk instead of protecting, that’s an example of situational irony.]]> 2021-04-30 03:24:05 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1476767202 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1479749590 Jason dudnauth

This is situational irony because the mom didn’t want her son to put his finger in a outlet because he can get shocked like how she did so she purchased a outlet cover to keep the kid safe but the kid end up putting the cover in his mouth and choked on it while she never thought that can happen]]> 2021-04-30 19:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1479749590 https://padlet.com/wmitten/x5x9kw0af6m605q0/wish/1479942153 an example of irony is that ms.jackson was a protective person due to what happen to her before so she didnt want her son to go through that also so she got a cover to close the outlets but the next day she heard her son choking on the outlet cover she purchased
