Sample Paragraph using the Chunked Method of presenting and explaining the evidence:

Saki's use of irony in "The Lumber Room" helps convey his belief that "the older, wiser, and better people" are not always right. (1) Readers can immediately recognize the ironic tone of the narrative when at breakfast Nicholas insists there is a frog in this bread-and-milk, and the aunt assures Nicholas that this is not impossible (Saki 1). However, it turns out there is a frog in Nicholas' bread-and-milk -- and he put them himself (Saki 1). The narrator enforces the iconic tone of this situation when he observes "the older, wiser, and better people had been proved to be profoundly in error in matters about which they had expressed the utmost assurance" (Saki 1).

C. Nicholas objects to helping her saying "Your voice doesn't sound like aunt's..." (Saki 3).
