SITUATIONAL IRONY in THE POET X by Elizabeth Acevedo
Xiomara's mother is very conservative. She expects her son, Xavier, to be strong and typically masculine while she expects Xiomara to be mild, agreeable and typically feminine. The irony is that they are the complete opposite. Xiomara says Twin was born a soft whistle while she was born a hurricane. Her brother is quiet and meek, unable to stand up for or fight for himself. Xiomara on the contrary is steadfast in her opinions and does the fighting for both of them. Ever since they were little, Xiomara stood up to anyone who disrespected either of them using her words and her fists.
“My brother was birthed a soft whistle: quiet, barely stirring the air, a gentle sound. But I was born all the hurricane he needed to lift -and drop- those that hurt him to the ground”
