Subject: Something  inconsistent in ruby syntax??

Please take a look at some exemplary code first.

class MailTruck
	instance_eval <<-EOS
		define_method(:hello1) {puts "hello1"}
	EOS

	define_method(:hello2) {puts "hello2"}

	instance_eval <<-EOS
		def hello3
			puts "hello3"
		end
	EOS

	def hello4
			puts "hello4"
	end
end

hello1 and hello2 are instance methods.
hello3 is  a class method.
hello4 is a instance method.

Why hello1 and hello2 are same, but hello3 and hello4 are different?

It seems a little inconsistent . Somebody can give a clear explanation?
Thanks in advance.
