“I shut my eyes. Judge Taylor was polling the jury: “Guilty… Guilty… Guilty… Guilty… : I peeked at Jem: his hands were white from gripping the balcony rail, and his shoulders jerked as if each “guilty” was a separate stab between them.” (Lee, 282).

There Tim O'Brien tells the story of Curt Lemon's death at least four times and shows the following feeling of soldiers in Rat Kiley's letter and shooting of baby buffalo . The stories of Curt Lemon's death turn out to be completely paradoxical, because it is obvious how versions contradict one another “when he died it was almost beautiful”, the gore was horrible and stays with me” and also with black humor "Dave Jensen … singing ‘Lemon Tree’ as we threw down the parts" and then, from "it all happen" to "every goddamn detail ….

The final example of verbal irony is when Hester and Pearl walk in the forest. Pearl warns her mother to "Come away, or yonder the Black Man will catch you!"

Last, Mr. Arthur faces maltreatment from the citizens of Maycomb. Many false rumors are spread through town about him: “Radley pecans would kill you”, “Boo drove the scissors into his parent’s leg,” and “[Boo] dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch” (11, 13, 16).
