The imagery of the orange "making a fire in my hands" (final line) is
sarcastic, because the boy really wanted chocolate, and not an orange
ironic, because the readers would not expect a twelve year old boy to enjoy eating fruit
strange, because he still has the orange after he gave it to the saleslady
symbolic, because it represents the brightness of the boy's mood
