Verbal irony is the use of words to mean something different from what a person actually says.The main feature of verbal irony that sets it apart from the other different types of irony is that it is used by a speaker intentionally. It occurs in a conversation where a person aims to be understood as meaning something different to what his or her words literally mean.

Examples of verbal irony include:

“Thanks for the ticket officer you just made my day!”

“I can’t wait to read the seven hundred page report.”

The above examples show how irony is used to show someone’s frustration or disappointment.

THIS IS THE MOST DETECTABLE FORM OF IRONY.

SITUATIONAL IRONY

It involves a discrepancy between what is expected to happen and what actually happens.

Situational irony occurs when the exact opposite of what is meant to happen, happens.

An example would be when someone buys a gun to protect himself, but the same gun is used by another individual to injure him. One would expect that the gun would keep him safe, but it has actually caused him injury.

There is however a difference between situational irony and coincidence or bad luck.

When someone washes his car and it rains, that is just bad luck; nothing led him or her to think that it would not rain. However, when a TV weather presenter gets caught in an unexpected storm, it is ironic because he or she is expected to know the exact weather changes.

For situational irony to occur there has to be something that leads a person to think that a particular event or situation is unlikely happen.

20 points! |The cab I had was a real old one that smelled like someone’s just tossed his cookies in it. I always get those vomit

Answer: 1. The POV is first person, because the narrator says ‘I’ when speaking about themself

2. When someone laughs on the street late at night you can hear it for miles, and usually if you’re able to hear it that means you’re not doing something exactly enjoyable?

3. I’m not too sure about this one, but I did some:

The cab I had was a little old but smelled like someone’s just wiped down the leather. I rarely get those fragrant kind of cabs if I go anywhere late at night. It was so quiet out, though hardly lonesome. There weren’t many people out on the street because most everyone was staying in with loved ones and relaxing. Now and then you just saw a boy and a girl crossing a street, with the arms around each other’s waist and all, or a bunch of energetic looking guys and their dates, all of them laughing like birds in the morning at something clever that had been said. New York’s amazing when someone laughs on the street very late at night. You can hear it for miles. It makes you feel like you’re not alone at all.

Considering how the chapter ends with Jem wanting to keep Atticus's secret safe and then proclaiming he is just

Bond [772]

Answer: Jem's reaction illustrates his maturity, and implies that Jem has realized that his father is a brave and humble man.

Explanation:

In <em>Chapter 10,</em> Jem argues that Atticus is, unlike the rest of the parents, too old and boring. However, later on, when a mad dog is found down the street, Atticus shoots him. Scout, surprised by this event, does not understand why their father has kept his talent a secret.

Jem, on the other hand, is mature enough to understand that Atticus keeps quiet about his skills because he does not want to stand out from the rest of the people. Atticus does not think that his skills are something he should be proud of, nor does he think that demonstrating one's shooting skills will make one seem brave in front of other people. This is why he never shoots, unless he really has to. Jem is aware now that his father is a humble, yet courageous man.

In 35 words or fewer, what's the last story you heard that was memorable? What about the story made you remember it?

elena-s [515]

Answer and Explanation:

Curtis Jackson was shot 9 times and had his life almost snatched from him. Most people would lose their lives at the impact of one bullet, Curtis didn't. It doesn't immediately add up but somehow it does add up. Curtis Jackson's life flashed right before his eyes but his vision got even sharper, his mission and goal became immediately urgent, and clear. He began to live in the truest sense of the word "living". It may seem that destiny had led his shooter to his car, that fateful afternoon.

This story from 50 cent's autobiography is a constant reminder that life is like a flash of light and the only way to truly appreciate it is to know it's transience and maximise every moment.
