Blog Post#3 "New Pretty Town"(#2)

Find and quote one Oxymoron from the chapter or one example of Irony.

"safety sparklers"

This is an example of an oxymoron because usually sparklers are not safe because they warn you to be careful so you don't accidentaly burn yourself.

Why do you think Tally chose to wear a mask to the party that was deemed "white tie?"

I think that Tally forgot that the party was white tie until people started talking about her and also because she didn't want anyone to see her or else they would have found out she was an ugly.



History of masks:
a form of disguise. It is an object that is frequently worn over or in front of the face to hide the identity of a person and by its own features to establish another being. This essential characteristic of hiding and revealing personalities or moods is common to all masks. As cultural objects they have been used throughout the world in all periods since the Stone Age and have been as varied in appearance as in their use and symbolism.
