Isabel has been asked to introduce her volleyball coach who is being honored at their athletic banquet. She kept a journal durin
g her sports season and plans to use some of the information in it when she writes the introduction. Which entry will Isabel MOST LIKELY use from her journal?
A) Practice lasted 2 hours today. I'm glad that Coach T had Emily work with me on spiking. Emily has the best stats in the region. I just know she will get a scholarship.
B) I hurt my ankle today. It's killing me!! Jackie wrapped it. I hope I don't have to miss the next game. It better get better fast. I'm going to talk to Coach T in the morning.
C) Late again! What is wrong with my stupid brother that he can't get to the gym on time to pick me up??!! I cannot wait to get my own car-and it's going to be a Honda Fit, just like Coach T's.
D) Coach T must have repeated her favorite quote so many times today, I'll probably hear it in my sleep: “The key is not the will to win… everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important.” Yep. We start and end every practice with it.
An example of dramatic irony would be answer A: Romeo thought Juliet was dead when he poisoned himself, but the audience know she was alive Dramatic irony is when the audience knows something the characters do not.
Thrifty and stingy are good examples of this because they have the same denotation, but their connotations are different. Thrifty has a positive connotation, while stingy has a negative connotation.
