Zoe is wierd

The whole story is an example of situational irony. Throughout the entire story, Zoe talks about how she is always getting in trouble for saying her jokes in her class at the university. However, she is also making a living off of her book about humor. Zoe felt that her expertise of humor would stay strictly to her business life and stay out of her life in the personal sense. However, she is proved wrong when Earl thinks she is downright odd when she starts cracking her jokes at the end of the story. Zoe is just wierd and a social misfit. Why would anyone in their right mind want to move to the midwest in a little town by Terre Haute. First of all, the only thing that happens there is extensive drug use. This means that Zoe isn't really that good of a history teacher and instead just settles for teaching US history in a small town at the local college.
