What is ironic about the following passage?Jonas went home the next morning, cheerfully greeted his parents, and lied easily about what a busy pleasant night he had had. His father smiled and lied easily, too, about his busy and pleasant day the day before.". Help asap please

The irony of these lines is that Jonas lied about the busy pleasant night he had had and his father did it too, unaware that what he was doing was very wrong.

Explanation:

These lines from The Giver show us great irony.

The irony is that that day, Jonas discovered how his father killed an innocent twin baby. This was not pleasant for Jonas, however when he tells his parents he says something else and that is the irony.

In turn, his father also lies saying that he had a busy and pleasant day. The irony is also in those words, since there is nothing pleasant in killing a baby. The irony is that his father did not know what he was doing, as these people have had all feelings and emotions suppressed, and he believed he was doing his job.

the rhetorical devices that he used in "common sense" are syntax for his sentence structure and pathos for his emotion against the british unfairly treating the "americans" and logos of what documents that what happened to the pilgrims when they had the mayflower compact and how that the british were wanting to have one religion but the compact said for any religion to be accepted.
