Situational irony!
Because, she initially thought she was free from her husbands wrath. She celebrated and her heart was happy, this only to end with such a heartbreak that it kills her.

When something that is unexpected to happen tends to occur in literature, making the dull and story take an interesting turning point is known as<em> irony. </em>

In Kate Chopin's, "The Study of An Hour", When Josephine inform Mrs. Mallard about the death of her husband we tend to observe her first reaction where she weeps into her sister’s arm and was hard to take. “She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister’s arms.” In such grief she rushes off to her room to be alone, later it is observed that “But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought.” And the reader see something coming to her and speaks softly “free, free, free!”. This situation can be dramatic as only the reader knows the real feeling of Mrs. Mallard. On the other hand, other characters are not aware of her real feelings. She celebrates it and by the end, she is dead with a heartbreak, wherein, her husband receives the news of Louise's death.

Hence, narrative technique employed by Chopin here is situational irony.

Technology cons social media/teenagers ​

Answer:

1. Social media is fake.

2. Social media can lead to stress and anxiety.

3. Social media can allow people to become victims of online harassment, cyber bullying, and solicitation.

Explanation:

1. Social media is fake. People use filters, and you never see the behind the scenes. When they post something that may make you jealous, don't be. People on social media only post things that make them look good, and don't post the others. Don't believe everything you see, because they could be as insecure as you are (if you are insecure).

2. Social media can lead to stress and anxiety. Social Networking states, “31% of teens who use social media have fought with a friend because of something that happened online.” (procon.org). This proves that social media can ruin your relationships with others, which can give you a lot of stress. Another article Social Networking states,“Students who used social media while studying scored 20% lower on tests…” (procon.org) This demonstrates that social media can be very addictive and can lead to bad grades.

3. Social media can allow people to become victims of online harassment, cyber bullying, and solicitation. Although you may not be getting bullied in person, social media allows someone to bully you through a screen easily. Sometimes, the person bullying you could be someone across the globe. So, there would be a higher chance of you getting bullied with social media than without it.
