4. Bellwork 5/1 Figure out the type of irony shown in the paragraph (verbal, situational, or dramatic) 1. A mean old man ate a large meal at a restaurant. The waitress tried to provide him with excellent service, but every time she brought him a dish, he complained. First he thought that the soup was too cold when it was hot. Then he said that his steak was dry and chewy, when it was moist and succulent. Then he complained that one of her blonde hairs was in his mashed potatoes, but the hair was actually grey like his own. She remained patient and continued to try to help him until the end of the meal, when he left her a quarter for a tip. She replied on his way out, “Thank you for the generous tip, Mister.” 2.

One bright and warm Easter morning, Timmy Holloway woke up to the smell of eggs, but not breakfast eggs, Easter eggs. That's right Timmy had a craving for Easter eggs, and today was the day to get them boy howdy. There was only one thing standing in his way, well two really: the Solomon brothers. The Solomon brothers got more eggs than Timmy every year because there were two of them and they counted their eggs as one. Timmy suspected that this was cheating but he couldn't articulate the notion. When Timmy got to the fair grounds, he clutched his Easter egg sack behind his back and approached the Solomon brothers. The taller one distracted Timmy while the shorter one snuck behind him, clipping the corner of Timmy's egg sack and making quite a big hole. Unfortunately, Timmy failed to notice this. When the whistle blew, Timmy was off. He was surprised to see the Solomon brothers behind him, since he was much faster than they, but he didn't mind. Timmy beat them to every egg, and raced on to the next, never noticing that his sack wasn't getting heavier. As he approached the end of the course, Timmy was elated that he was the first to finish. The Solomon brothers were right behind him. "Maybe next year, loser twins," Timmy chuckled, right before he noticed that his sack was empty.

9. Bellwork 5/3 Juvenile Curfews REPORTER: Mayor, at tonight's town council meeting you will vote on some tough new ordinances. Do you care to offer a comment? MAYOR JONES: I would be happy to offer my thoughts on tonight's vote. REPORTER: Which of the new ordinances do you feel will have the greatest impact on the citizens' daily lives? MAYOR JONES: The proposed curfew will have the greatest impact. The town council proposes to enact a 9 o'clock curfew on all juveniles under the age of 16. REPORTER: Do you care to elaborate on the subject? MAYOR JONES: For the past week, a number of small business owners have reported an increase in vandalism. Most of the damage has been committed by juveniles after business hours. In an effort to curb the damage, I have called for a curfew to be instated. All juveniles under the age of 16 will be required to be in their homes by 9 o'clock on school nights and by 11 o'clock on weekends. REPORTER: Mayor, don't you feel that you are unjustly punishing the good in order to deal with a few "bad apples"? MAYOR JONES: Both the police chief and the city council have already agreed that this is the best answer. All of those trouble-making kids will be off the streets! REPORTER: Mayor, recent studies have shown that curfews do not reduce juvenile crime. Curfews just strain relationships between juveniles and the local law enforcement people.
