In the short story "The Lottery", by Shirley Jackson, there are many instances of irony.

The title is ironic since the idea of a lottery is to win something, in this case, the winner is stoned to death.

The opening description in paragraph one is considered ironic because it introduces the setting by describing the day as "clear and sunny" but it ends with the death of a woman.

In the story, there are also some ironic names such as Mr. Graves and Mr. Summers. While one may think of the summer as something enjoyable, he is in charge of the random killing of a villager every single year.

Answer:

Vygotsky would refer to these internal mental remarks as private speech.

Explanation:

According to Vygotsky and Piaget, private speech is a type of self-talk that serves an intellectual function between ages 3 and 7, and a self-regulating function from age 7 on. Therefore, we can think of two types of private speech. None of them is directed towards other people, only to self, even though the private speech of younger children is performed out loud. It is from age 7 on that private speech becomes a silent, inner speech to self, focusing on self-guidance and regulation of one's own behavior.
