5 0

Tower Bridge has a fascinating history, which is explored in full in Tower Bridge Exhibition. Here’s some to get your started…

1910 - the high-level Walkways, which were designed so that the public could still cross the bridge when it was raised, were closed down due to lack of use.

1912 - during an emergency, Frank McClean had to fly between the bascules and the high-level walkways in his Short biplane, to avoid an accident.

1952 - a London bus driven by Albert Gunter had to leap from one bascule to the other when the bridge began to rise with the number 78 bus still on it.

1977 - Tower Bridge was painted red, white and blue to celebrate the Queen's Silver Jubilee. (Before that, it was painted a chocolate brown colour).

1982 - Tower Bridge opened to the public for the first time since 1910, with a permanent exhibition inside called The Tower Bridge Experience.

Explanation:

Dramatic irony is related to a situation in which readers know and understand something that the characters themselves don't. In this case, readers know Janet is in trouble for agreeing to wear the sweater. We know she no longer has it because she exchanged it for the boots. As a matter of fact, we know she hated the sweater when she got it, and lied to Bobby saying she loved it.

Bobby, however, is clueless to all that. He believes Janet still has the sweater, and is upset that she does not seem to appreciate the expensive gift. Bobby has no idea of the "pickle" Janet is in because of his demand. That is why this is an example of dramatic irony.

With their realization came the end of their fight.
