<h3>What is Irony?</h3>
Irony occurs when the opposite of an expected event happens. This story by O. Henry is about a poor couple who wanted to purchase Christmas presents for each other.
Jim sold his watch to a comb for Della while Della caught off her hair to buy Jim a present. The irony is in the fact that Della will not have any need for the comb since she has cut off her hair.

Answer:
Explanation:
Landing on the Island
For the boys of Lord of the Flies, the island represents both their temporary home as well as their prison. There is no escape, unless they can signal to a passing boat or plane using a fire. From what they can tell, it 'was roughly boat-shaped: humped near this end with behind them the jumbled descent to the shore. On either side rocks, cliffs, treetops and a steep slope: forward there, the length of the boat, a tamer descent, tree-clad, with hints of pink: and then the jungly flat of the island, dense green, but drawn at the end to a pink tail.' The primary parts of the island are the the mountain on one end of the island; Castle Rock, a pink stone formation on the other end; the beach where the boys washed up after the plane crash; the jungle in the middle of the island; and the lagoon, 'a long, deep pool in the beach with a high ledge of pink granite at the further end.' In this apparent paradise, the boys initially think of themselves as kings unfettered by the demands of grownups. While the island appears to be a place of freedom, it actually traps the boys, physically and mentally.
