Irony.

Explanation:

An irony is a literary device used by the writer to show a contrast between the expectations and the reality. The words, in this device, is used as such to reveal the difference between the actual and intended meaning of the word.

In the given statement the literary device of irony is used. It is taken from the play named "The Outside" written by Susan Glaspell; a one-act play. The writer, through this play, tried to convey the emptiness of Mrs. Patrick who resides in the lifesaving station with her servant.

So, the correct answer is irony.

She ends up leaving her school to be with Rene at his school only to find out that their relationship may not be as simple as it seems.

I picked the book up because it had a cute cover and an interesting blurb on the back. It wasn't what I imagine it to be. I am still in the thinking stage about this book because it was not instantly awful nor amazing. It was just a run through romance story with no juicy details. There wasn't a key feature that distinguished it from any other story, but there was not anything to make it awful either.

Since the book was so bland, there was not any content or language issues with the book. It was a pretty straightforward story directed towards a middle school audience. However, as I was reading the novel, I was thinking of pairing it with the high school Shakespeare novel Romeo and Juliet. They are both star-crossed lovers with something keeping them from having a blissful relationship.
