Answer 2

Setting is easy -- talk about Maycomb and how the views (prejudice)of that town affect the story.

Characterization is a little vague.  Ask your teacher to clarify what he/she means.  In the mean time, start thinking about how Scout changes and grows and think about how Scout, as the narrator, describes characters like Atticus, Boo Radley, and Tom (sorry I can't remember his last name).  

The best place to look for irony is Scout's first impressions of Boo, Atticus, etc.  

Good luck!
