Mr. Avery's allusion to the Rosetta Stone is ironic because, while the Rosetta Stone was key to deciphering ancient languages, Mr. Avery uses it in a context that confuses Scout rather than enlightening her.

This highlights her innocence and the gap between adult knowledge and a child's perspective.
