    In response to the “Lesson in Irony” presented by the author I would have to disagree with his or her opinion. I do not think the author correctly reflects poverty in America. The author is implying that the government program run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture is promoting dependence on their program for people in poverty who are unable to provide meals for the families. To me it comes across that the author is using sarcasm to get their point across rather than looking at the realities of

    T. Coraghessan Boyle uses irony in his short story Carnal Knowledge‚ which gives it a humorous tone. The way the narrator reacts to ironic events shapes our understanding of both him‚ and the meaning of the story as a whole; although humans can adapt to their surroundings to get want they want‚ they will always return to their original basic set of morals and standards. The first use of irony is arguably the most humorous‚ which foreshadows the ridiculousness of the narrators actions throughout

The first case of irony is that Fortunado was dressed as a fool. This is ironic
