Why do you think Mr. Sir doesn't give Stanley any water? We also learned about irony recently. What is something in your life that you find ironic? Be sure to post your initials with each comment.

I think that Mr. Sir doesn't give Stanley any water because he doesn't like him. Since Stanley didn't admit who stole the sunflower seeds, Mr. Sir is punishing him by making him thirsty, probably to the point where he will tell Mr. Sir who really took the sunflower seeds. In my life, I always thought it was ironic that I parked in a driveway, but I drove on the parkway. (SF)

I agree, I think that Mr. Sir didn't give Stanley any water was because he was trying to punish him and make him confess to stealing the sunflower seeds. One thing that I see as ironic is that I hated middle school as a student, however I will be in middle school for the majority of my life teaching it. (JC) Mr. Sir is angry with Stanley because once he saw all of his sunflower seeds spread throughout one of Stanley's hole, he automatically assumed that Stanley was the one that stole them, when really he didn't. Mr. Sir knows how scorching hot it is in the desert, and he thinks by making Stanley thirsty, he'll confess to stealing the sunflower seeds. I think it's ironic that I hate black and yellow together, but I love the Steelers. (AB)
