How does asides work in conjunction with dramatic irony?

English

Dramatic Irony is irony based on you knowing something the characters don't know. If you've ever seen a horror movie, or a Nicholas Sparks romantic drama, you know what I'm talking about. Examples would be knowing that the blonde character is about to open the door to the room that Jason is waiting in, or the husband coming home to see his wife when we clearly know she remarried while he was off.

So, asides are the main way a storyteller is able to communicate dramatic irony for tension, weather it be dramatic or comedic. Lets go back to the Friday the 13th analogy. The main story involves the teenagers at camp Crystal Lake. So while we'll have a scene fleshing out their characters in the dining room, we'll cut away to an "aside", or scene/plotline that's not directly related to the main plot, of Jason crawling in the window to the bathroom. We then cut back to the main shot, where the blonde character says she needs to relieve herself. Everybody laughs, and as she walks away, we see Jason inching towards the door with machete in hand. The side-plot, or "asides" of Jason getting in the room, builds the dramatic irony of us knowing the blonde is going to die, but the characters don't know that yet as the asides were out of their realm of perspective.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

  • He describes his experiences on the platform simply, in order to avoid bias and sentimentality .

Explanation:

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave was distributed in 1845, under seven years after Douglass got away from subjection. The book was a moment achievement, selling 4,500 duplicates in the initial four months. For a mind-blowing duration, Douglass kept on reexamining and extend his personal history, distributing a second form in 1855 as My Bondage and My Freedom. The third form of Douglass' self-portrayal was distributed in 1881 as Life and Times of Frederick Douglass, and an extended variant of Life and Times was distributed in 1892. These different retellings of Douglass' story all start with his introduction to the world and youth, yet each new form underlines the common impact and close connection of Douglass' existence with key events in American history.

Read the following sentence, and then choose the option with correct comma placement.
Alona [7]

Answer:

The third option, "His books, in my opinion, are so similar that it's difficult to distinguish one plot from the other." Is the correct answer.

Explanation:

This sentence has an appositive and the commas are being used correctly.

<h3>An appositive is basically a noun or a noun phrase that further identifies another noun right next to it. </h3><h2>Rule of thumb:</h2>
  • Use commas around an appositive when it is <em>NOT</em> essential to the sentence or information.
  • One word appositivies <u>(generally)</u> don't need commas.
  • If the appositive gives weight or meaning to a sentence, then you don't need to put it around the appositive.
