4. What does the grandmother say to the Misfit to try to convince him not to
kill her? Does the conversation alter his viewpoints in any way?

The grandmother tries to appeal to the Misfit's nonexistent sense of morals by claiming to see in him his "good blood" and by asserting that she "knows" he "come[s] from nice people." She delivers these appeals in a panic, desperate in her knowledge that she is likely not going to survive these moments. After all, by this point in the story, her family have not survived this encounter with the Misfit and his gang, so her last resort is to encourage the Misfit to get in touch with his good side and allow her to live. She even says to him, "You're one of my own children!" as a way to get some sympathy, as she believes that if she identifies with a mother figure, surely the Misfit with show her some mercy.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

dramatic irony occurs when the reader/audience knows more about a character's situation than the character does. the one main effect is that it gives the reader a sense of superiority, or detached superiority. the reader not only seemingly discovers what is revealed, but feels superior for doing so.
