Ashes to Ashes In an excerpt taken from a letter by George Bernard Shaw‚ Shaw displays much lighthearted irony through his use of biblical allusions‚ merry diction‚ and varying syntax in order to mirror his ironic perception of death.

Because of ‘American Beauty’ being far from

She was living a poor area with "boards torn up"
