What type of irony is shown in the following paragraph? “The rookie wide receiver has been the star of the team, leading the lea

gue in touchdowns, yet no one knew the wide receiver very well. No one talked to the wide receiver. No one knew where the wide receiver came from. No one knew about the ponytail the wide receiver had hidden in the helmet. No one knew Lucy Parker was the wide receiver’s real name. And no one could ever know. Women were not allowed to play, but Lucy was determined to show them that she had every right to play."

Answer:

The Irony which best describes the paragraph is Dramatic Irony.

Explanation:

Dramatic irony occurs when the reader knows something the characters don't.

In the excerpt, neither the team nor the audience knew that the Wide Receiver was Lucy Parker.

She had concealed her identity because she is female, and women were prohibited from playing American Football.

Other forms of irony are:

a) Definition Irony. This occurs when there is a contrast between what is expected and what happens. This almost looks like it. However, the other side of expectation is occurrence. When something occurs it is most likely in the know of the people involved. Recall that no one on the team knows that Lucy is a woman yet. hence this answer cannot fly.

b) Situational irony. This is almost like the <em>Definition Irony. </em>In this case, however, there is no expectation. Only a sudden occurrence of an event that was not expected to happen. If the team discovers that after winning the league that it was because of Lucy that they won, then a situational irony would have occurred. Remember,

Definition Irony is when Expectation is not equal to occurence.

Situational Irony is when there is no pre-expectation of the event that happened.

c) Verbal Irony. This is the easiest to grasp. It is used when exactly the opposite of what actually exists is spoken of. For example, John Cena is not a wrestler. Or it snows in summer.

Select two quotations that best support the theme of gaining one's freedom from
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

What could love, the unsolved mystery, count for in face of this possession of self-assertion which she suddenly recognized as the strongest impulse of her being!

There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a nght to impose a private will upon a fellow creature.

Explanation:

The two excerpts above impose a sense of knowledge, power and freedom. This is because we can see that the above excerpt shows a narrator free to act, feel and think according to his own conception and his own principles, using his own opinions. This ability is achieved when an individual is able to free himself from an interminably limiting and weighting oppression.
