  Long Essay Prompt:
  Irony is a necessary tool of many writers, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a narrative without it – story plays with the reader’s expectations as it does those of its characters. Write an essay that compares and contrasts how two different texts use irony: if each uses irony similarly, what is the effect shared within each narrative? Or does the irony lead to different effects, either for the reader or for characters? How does comparing the levels of irony in each story help us understand a deeper theme or question within the texts?
  Use the following:  "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O’Connor , "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell.

  Topic: The Use of Irony in "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor and "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell
  Thesis Statement: Both O'Connor and Orwell utilize irony to challenge the reader's perception of morality and reality, yet they achieve different effects through the levels of irony in their narratives.
  Route map:
  
  1. The role of irony in shaping the reader's perception of morality
  2. The use of irony to expose the facade of reality
  3. The impact of varying levels of irony on the narrative and theme
  
  Body 1: The role of irony in shaping the reader's perception of morality
  
  In "A Good Man is Hard to Find," O'Connor uses irony to challenge the reader's perception of morality. The grandmother, who initially appears to be a sympathetic character, is eventually revealed to be selfish and narrow-minded. This is evident when she manipulates her family into taking a trip to Tennessee, putting them in danger, and later begs the Misfit for mercy. The grandmother's moral decline is further highlighted by the Misfit, who, despite his criminal background, demonstrates a deeper understanding of morality than the grandmother.
  
  Similarly, Orwell uses irony to question the morality of the colonial system in "Shooting an Elephant." The protagonist, a British colonial officer, is forced to kill an elephant to maintain face and order, even though he recognizes the senselessness of the act. Orwell's irony exposes the moral contradictions of colonialism, as the protagonist is trapped between his own moral values and the expectations of the colonial system.
  
  Body 2: The use of irony to expose the facade of reality
  
  O'Connor uses irony to expose the facade of reality in "A Good Man is Hard to Find." The grandmother's belief in a romanticized version of the South, where "gentleman" like the Misfit do not exist, is shattered when she encounters the Misfit and his gang. This irony reveals the disconnect between the grandmother's idealized perception of reality and the harsh truth.
  
  Orwell also employs irony to expose the facade of reality in "Shooting an Elephant." The protagonist's belief in the superiority of the British colonial system is challenged when he realizes that the Burmese people view him as a symbol of oppression. This irony exposes the contradictions and hypocrisy of the colonial system, revealing the reality of the situation to the protagonist and the reader.
  
  Body 3: The impact of varying levels of irony on the narrative and theme
  
  O'Connor's use of a higher level of irony in "A Good Man is Hard to Find" amplifies the sense of moral ambiguity and the disconnect between the characters' perceptions and reality. The irony serves to heighten the tension and suspense, as the reader is constantly questioning the moral values of the characters and the reality of the situation.
  
  In contrast, Orwell's use of a lower level of irony in "Shooting an Elephant" allows for a more straightforward exploration of the moral contradictions of colonialism. The irony serves to highlight the protagonist's inner conflict and the absurdity of the colonial system, without overwhelming the narrative.
  
  Body 4: What is revealed in the results of the comparison
  
  Comparing the use of irony in "A Good Man is Hard to Find" and "Shooting an Elephant" reveals the different effects it can have on the narrative and the reader's perception of morality and reality. O'Connor's higher level of irony creates a sense of moral ambiguity and disconnect, while Orwell's lower level of irony allows for a more straightforward exploration of the moral contradictions of colonialism. The varying levels of irony also serve to highlight the themes of the stories, as O'Connor's irony emphasizes the disconnect between perception and reality, while Orwell's irony exposes the contradictions and hypocrisy of colonialism.
  
  Conclusion:
  
  In conclusion, both Flannery O'Connor and George Orwell use irony as a tool to challenge the reader's perception of morality and reality in "A Good Man is Hard to Find" and "Shooting an Elephant." However, they achieve different effects through the levels of irony in their narratives. O'Connor's higher level of irony creates a sense of moral ambiguity and disconnect, while Orwell's lower level of irony allows for a more straightforward exploration of the moral contradictions of colonialism. By comparing the use of irony in these two texts, we gain a deeper understanding of the themes and the impact of irony on the narrative and the reader's perception.
