Which excerpt from O’Connor’s "Good Country People" contains an example of irony? Every morning Mrs. Hopewell got up at seven o’clock and lit her gas heater and Joy’s. Joy was her daughter, a blonde girl who had an artificial leg. Then she had gone and had the beautiful name, Joy, changed without telling her mother until after she had done it. Her legal name was Hulga. Nothing is perfect. This was one of Mrs. Hopewell’s favorite sayings. Another was: that is life! And still another, the most important, was: well, other people have their opinions too. Mrs. Hopewell liked to tell people . . . how she had happened to hire the Freemans in the first place and how they were a godsend to her and how she had had them four years.
