Tommy thought it possible the guardians had, throughout all our years at hailsham, timed very carefully and deliberately everything they told us, so that we were always just too young to understand properly the latest piece of information. but of course we'd take it in at some level, so that before long all this stuff was there in our heads without us ever having examined it properly. tommy has come up with quite the conspiracy theory. the guardians at hailsham seem to be masters at slipping information into the students' heads without the students even knowing about it. is this effective parenting? or good teaching? or is it just plain old brainwashing?

When lawrence saw the posters for the circus hanging on the bulletin board, as he swept up the trimmings at slim's barbershop, he knew he would be taking his little cousins. they loved animals, and he was looking forward to seeing the smiles on their faces as the circus performers amazed them with their stunts. but sweeping up hair clippings didn't pay a whole lot. lawrence spent 45 dollars just getting tickets. but it was worth it to see his cousins' faces. the day finally came and everyone was excited as they walked into that big circus tent. but lawrence soon realized that he and his cousins would be thirsty and hungry. as they sat in their seats, the drink vendor walked by selling beverages. desperately thirsty, lawrence asked him how much a lemonade would cost, and the drink vendor said, "eleven dollars each." lawrence replied, "oh, that's it? just eleven dollars? what a great deal for one cup of lemonade. that's totally worth it." the drink vendor walked away. which type of irony is used?
