What are some examples of allusion, hyperbole, and irony in To Kill a Mockingbird (chapters 3 to 6)?

is
reference, often indirect, to a well-known person, event, or thing, whether factual or
fictitious.is extreme exaggeration.relates to a difference between what is stated or done and
its intended meaning or interpretation (or to different information available to different
).

An allusion comes inwhen s teacher reads them a mystifying story about a
toadfrog that lived in a hall, an allusion to The Wind in the Willows. In ,
Dill names three boys, alluding to the Rover Boys book series, which Scout then
identifies.

Scout is prone to exaggeration; it is part of her literary style,
so hyperbole frequently appears. Examples in chapter 3 include Walter Cunningham declaring that
he almost died from eating pecans, and Scouts angry reaction at being scolded by Calpurnia:
one day€¦ Id go off and drown myself€¦. and then shed be sorry. In chapter 4, in the first
paragraph on the futility of attending school, she mentions using miles of construction paper
and believes that her father and uncle knew everything. A few pages into the chapter, she says
Mrs. Dubose was the meanest woman who ever lived.

The main irony in these
chapters occurs in , where dramatic irony is involved in the childrens trespassing on the
Radleys property. All three children know howlost his pants, butdoes not. In addition, Jems
motivation for trespassing was to show his bravery, but the reality of the dangerous situation
instead confirmed his fear.
