The Outsiders - Chapter 5-6 HUWER

During a flashback Ponyboy talks about Two-Bit's behavior in church. It was after Steve dropped a hymn book. Ponyboy said, "Everyone in the place turned around to look at us, and Johnny and I nearly crawled under the pews. And then Two-Bit waved at them." Why do you suppose the author decided to put the word "waved" in italics?

• to emphasize how funny Ponyboy thought Two-Bit was acting

• to emphasize how embarrassed Two-Bit made Ponyboy feel

• to point out that all the boys like to have fun in church

• to point out that all the boys know how to behave in church

How do Johnny and Ponyboy disguise themselves?

• change their clothes 
• cut their hair and dye Ponyboy's blond 
• wear wigs 
• grow facial hair

• verbal irony (sarcasm)

• dramatic irony (audience knows something the characters don't)

• situational (the situation is the opposite of what you'd think)
