3. Brady's argument is full of irony. This makes him use phrases with double meanings and with subjunctive messages that make the reader draw his own conclusions. Thus, Brady states that the reader's conclusions are the fault of the reader alone and the ability to interpret his ironic arguments.

4. Brady's ironies increase as the article progresses, reaching very comical levels and often bordering on nosense. Through this, Brady is able to stimulate the reader's emotions in relation to the text and make the reading lighter, more fluid and pleasant to be read.
