Different types of irony
Reil [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: situational, dramatic and verbal irony.

Explanation:

The irony is a literary device we use to express certain meanings by using language that signifies the opposite, to indicate a higher negative implication through the positive wording.

There are three types of irony: dramatic, situational, and verbal.

Dramatic irony represents the situation when the audience understands what is happening in a certain situation better than the characters. The best example of this type of irony can be found in Shakespeare's <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> when Romeo dies because he believes Juliet is dead.

Situational irony occurs when some action has the opposite result from what is expected.

For example:

John realizes it's his wife's birthday. He goes to buy her a present, and after buying it, he realizes the birthday was three days ago.

Verbal irony occurs when the speaker says the opposite of what he/she thinks.

For example:

The cousin you hate is coming to see you and you are saying: <em>What a nice surprise</em>!

What three things was Fredrick Douglass deprived of as a child that his audience thinks every child should have?
Stells [14]

Three things that Frederick Douglas was deprived of as a child and his audience thinks every child should have are:

The presence of his mother: his master separated him from his mother just after his birth. Because of this, he did not develop familiar feelings towards his mother. He said that, when he knew she had died, she felt the same as if a stranger would have died.

Freedom: He explains how unnatural slavery is and the means by which slave owners distort social bonds and the natural processes of life in order to turn man into slaves.

Sense of personal history: By removing a child from his immediate family, slaveholders destroy his support network and the sense of belonging.
