Why is the name "Ship-Trap Island" in the short story "The Most Dangerous Game" ironic?

English
1 answer:
lesya [120]3 years ago

There's three different types of irony:

situational irony- an unexpected twist occurs at the end of the story

verbal irony- sarcasm

dramatic irony- the reader knows something that one of the characters do not


I would say that the name "Ship-Trap Island" is dramatic irony because the reader can infer that the main character will be trapped on an island, but the main character has no idea that he will soon be trapped on the island and hunted.

True [87]
It was an early morning. For Thanksgiving, I was helping my family pick out cranberries for the feast tomorrow. For once, my family was sharing more gratitude, and less attitude. My younger sister was gathering the decorations for the celebration, and me and my best friend helped my mom make the stuffing and bake the pumpkin pie.
Our friendship was unbreakable. This holiday was perfect for me to show her how much I appreciate her. We planned to dress up as pilgrims and our togetherness made the task of creating the costumes really fast! I love Thanksgiving because the world can show so much appreciation and kindness on one day.
