1. Where do you see an example of irony, hyperbole, sarcasm, or humor in the novel? How is this ridiculing some aspect in our society, whether that be the abuse, corruption, or absurd practices (and shortcomings) of persons, institutions, or social structures? See sampleShelomae Redilloanalysis on 4.8 Themes and Satire in White Noise and 5.5 Hitler s Death Camps & Chapter 21.
■ When Jack posed denial that nothing is going to happen amid the "billowing cloud", he remarked by saying:
"These things happen to poor people who live in exposed areas. Society is set up in such a way that it's the poor and the uneducated who suffer the main impact of natural and man-made disasters. People in low-lying areas get the floods, people in shanties get the hurricanes and tornados. I'm a college professor. Did you ever see a college professor rowing a boat down his own street in one of those TV floods? We live in a neat and pleasant town near a college with a quaint name. These things don’t happen in places like Blacksmith"(53).
The irony is he ended up being quarantined with everyone at the Boy's Scouts camp, after they were told to evacuate. This situation reflects today, especially those who possess power, wealth, and higher status in society, which they think that their state makes them invincible. For instance, todays coronavirus pandemic chooses no one. Cases are still increasing, with more people getting infected.
2. How is Heinrich's ability to operate “fistfuls of data” different from Jack's ability? Does Heinrich really know more than Jack? Explain.
■ Heinrich's ability is different from his father's because he possesses a curious mind and has an interest in things around him. He's always doing something out of the ordinary, i.e. talking to a murderer or hanging out with a 19-year-old senior who experiments with snakes. On the other hand. Jack is too closed-minded with his German studies. He tries to exalt Hitler as the center of his identity, and give serious regard to things that has something to do with German. For example, when Jack was examining the foreign label of the wheat germ, he says.'"lt's German, eat it"’(61). He also relies on the TV for information, that’s why he's not getting the right one.
3. Later. Murray asks a prostitute if he can perform the Heimlich maneuver on her (152). What makes this act or arrangement sexual? How does this define Murray's sexuality? Does this request have some deeper meaning in the novel, particularly to the fear-of-death theme?
■ What makes Heimlich maneuver sexual is the position of the procedure, and description of the sounds Murray described during the conversation. Murray is not as conscious as Jack when it comes to death, and I see his character to be more enthralled in studying people's behavior; therefore. I don't think his action has meaning regarding the death theme.
4. Form a question about the novel: (see 4.10 Drafting Literary Questions for an explanation on how to formulate questions)
■ What does Murray mean when he says. "This is the nature of modern death"(69)? How does this relate to popular culture today?

1.1 found it irony in chapter 21 of the book that says "These things(disasters) happen to poor people who live in exposed areas. Society is set up in such a way that it's the poor and the uneducated who suffer the main impact of natural and man-made disasters. People in low-lying areas get the floods, people in shanties get the hurricanes and tornadoes. I'm a college professor. Did you ever see a college professor rowing a boat down his own street in one of those TV floods? We live in a neat and pleasant town near a college with a quaint name. These things don't happen in places like Blacksmith." In real life as well all bad things happen to the third world country. We read about them in newspapers and feel alienated. As if their life is not as valuable as ours. They are just news. He emphasizes on this point by saying that the toxic airborne can or can’t be important news based on who gets affected by them. (56)
2.1 think Heinrich perspective toward data are more realistic since he listens to radio and had more information about the event. For example, he knew about the side effects and which part of the brain it effects. Jack on the other hand only cared about not being affected by the toxin.Jack likes to believe that because of their social status they won’t be effected by the clouds but Heinrich is not as easily convinced.
3. Murray is afraid of death and as a result asking a prostitute performing a Heillich maneuver on him represented someone having control over his death. Someone being superior, more powerful that can rescue his life and this was sexually attractive for him.
4. How does Babette's perspective toward the radiation and toxins that we consume daily versus the pills she is taking relate to real society?
