Identify three examples of irony and explain why they are ironic.
romanna [79]
1. Irony can best be defined as that middle ground between what is said and what is meant, or others’ understanding of what was said and what was meant. It can sometimes be a bit confusing, yet at the same time it can also be amusing. There are several examples of irony which can be summed up in various categories.<span>

2. </span>This type of irony may occur when the outcome of a certain situation is completely different than what was initially expected. It is often referred to as an “irony of events.”

Examples of irony in the situational category include a contradiction or sharp contrast. 

<span>Example: A person who claims to be a vegan and avoids meat but will eat a slice of pepperoni pizza because they are hungry. It may not make sense, but it is an illustration of irony.Example: A man who is a traffic cop gets his license suspended for unpaid parking tickets.Example: An ambulance driver goes to a nightime bike accident scene and runs over the accident victim because the victim has crawled to the center of the road with their bike.</span><span>

3. </span>This type of irony can be attributed to some sort of misfortune. Usually cosmic irony is the end result of fate or chance.<span>Example: Gambling.  If you are playing blackjack chances are you will be up (making money) for awhile, and then just when you thought things were going well, you lose it all.Example: The Titanic was promoted as being 100% unsinkable; but, in 1912 the ship sank on its maiden voyage.Example: At a ceremony celebrating the rehabilitation of seals after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, at an average cost of $80,000 per seal, two seals were released back into the wild only to be eaten within a minute by a killer whale.</span>

Cosmic irony feeds on the notion that people cannot see the effects of their actions, and sometimes the outcome of a person’s actions may be out of their control.
