A autobiographies.
Usually when people are talking about themselves in a story, it is based on their own experiences.
The sentences in the above excerpt from Mark Twain’s “The Danger of Lying in Bed” which are examples of verbal irony are:
“San Francisco is one-eighth as populous as New York; there are 60 deaths a week in the former and 500 a week in the latter—if they have luck.”
“That is 3,120 deaths a year in San Francisco, and eight times as many in New York—say about 25,000 or 26,000. The health of the two places is the same.”
“Don't stay at home any more than you can help; but when you have GOT to stay at home a while, buy a package of those insurance tickets and sit up nights.”
The irony is the statement which has the meaning opposite to what is said literally. It creates humor. When words expressed reflects on to the opposite meaning of what is been said, the irony is termed verbal irony. In the above sentences, the author gives an ironical statement in order to present the importance of living in a comical way. Hope this helped!
