Question

Hi, and welcome to the TZM Deluxe Celebrity Bus Tour, the only tour in which you visit not the homes of the stars themselves but the homes of the people who work for the stars and relatives of those people. Step right up and grab a seat and a star map. First up today is the home of the person who walks the dog belonging to Oscar-winning actress Annie Fingers. And there he is now and that's Muffins, Annie Fingers's dog, that he's walking! What a thrill! What do you have to say for yourself, sir? What's that you're going to break my what if I don't get out of here? Ladies and gentlemen, we have a slight change of plan for our four today. Rather than spend time with Annie Fingers's dog walker, we're going immediately to item 2 on your map, the neighbor of the sister of the person who styles the hair of pro football star Doug Bullvon. Step back in the bus, and we'll be there in no time! 1.Identify an example of hyperbole in the text. 2. Identify an example of understatement in the text. What is the effect of this example? 3. Identify an example of irony in the text. How does the example go against the expectation the reader has

Answer 1

Hi! I read this a couple times and think I may be of some help.

1. I believe “what a thrill!” can be seen as a hyperbole as it is not usually a thrill to walk the dog, especially someone else’s.
2. I think an example of an understatement would be where the driver asks “What’s that you’re going to break my what” because it doesn’t seem like it was asked with much excitement or fear but this added a little humor to the situation when he made for a quick escape.
3. I think an example of irony in the text would be the Celebrity bus tour because one would think they were paying to possibly see some actual celebrities when really they’re just seeing the people who work for them. The reader may thunk they’re going to read about the lifestyles of the rich and fancy when in actuality they’re reading about everyday people doing everyday things.

I really hope this helps!
