What is irony? Why was it ironic when Max was hiding in a closet full of white lab coats?

  1. Irony is to be sarcastic, imitate mockery, or in this case, it's the root of word of something being unexpected. It was ironic when Max was hiding in a closet full of lab coats because it was very unexpected and because she had no idea that the Erasers would come to hunt her down. So, she had to be sneaky and furtive so the Erasers would not see her. It related to the quote "Desperate times calls for desperate measures" because she took a risk and stayed.

  2. Irony means that is the opposite of its literal meaning for example. “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend. It was ironic that Max was hiding in a closet full of lab coats so that no one can find her.

  3. Irony: the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning. I think it was ironic when Max was hiding in a closet full of white lab coats because Angle was with the white coats in the lab (called the school) and they're surrounded by basically the same things at the same time and it's kind of odd knowing that.

  4. Irony is when a situation contradicts a character's thoughts in a almost humorous way. It was ironic because before, Max was running from the whitecoats from the School, but now, she was hiding WITH whitecoats, and although they're not the scientists from the School, they represented them in Max's head.

  5. In the book Maximum Ride, the words "irony" and "ironic" means sarcastic or mocking. The part where Max was hiding in a closet with labcoats was ironic because Max spent her whole life trying to escape people wearing labcoats. Now, it seems that the labcoats are mocking her because she is forced to hide with them now.

  6. irony: The quality or state of an event being both coincidental and contradictory in a humorous or poignaut and extremely improbable way.

    It is ironic because Max is trying to get away from the white coats ant the closet is full of them. She thinks that this is the good guys side but the people there are in white coats and the closet is full of them. Maybe that is a second branch for the school, and Max is thinking that there getting the x-ray for Max but maybe there samples for the white coats to see.

  7. Irony is the use of words to say a meaning that is opposite to the actual meaning. I think it is ironic when Max hid inside the closets full of white lab coats because she was afraid of scientists after what they had done to her at school. I think ghat even though Dr.Martinez was very nice to her, Max was still afraid of whitecoats.

  8. Irony comes from the root word ironic, which means to be sarcastic or to be mocking something. I think it was ironic when Max hid in the closet filled with white coats since all the scientists that experimented on her wore white lab coats and she hated the scientists but Dr.Martonez wore a white lab coat and she was a good person.
