Some good examples of dramatic irony in the play "Oedipus The King" are as follows:

1. <span> Oedipus has been seeking to find out the murderer of King Laius in order to solve the plague. </span><span> This is dramatic irony because we know Oedipus murdered King Laius, but Oedipus himself doesn't</span> know this.

2. Oedipus said he would is willing to search out the murderers of King Laius with all of his might, as he would for his own father. This is dramatic irony because Oedipus doesn't realize that King Laius is his father (and that he was the one who killed King Laius).

3. <span>Oedipus is the blindest when he calls Tiresias, the seer blind. This is dramatic irony because the blind man is the one who actually sees the truth.

4. </span><span>Oedipus can answer the impossible Sphinx-riddle, but he has no answer to the riddle of his own existence.

5. </span><span>Every attempt that King Oedipus makes to avert danger, only serve to bring it nearer.</span>

This is interesting. It's a split between C and D for this, as it covers both almost equally. However, I would go with C, seeing as it all falls under the umbrella of "cultural significance", even when talking about what purpose the drum is being changed for.

Why or why not do you think cells phones should be allowed in school (needs to be a pharagraph, awarding a lot of points!!!
Ket [755]

I believe cellphones should be allowed to use in schools because, research purposes and taking pictures. Phones are a great source of research instead of having to take up space in the computer room. They also take pictures, so students are able to record lectures and take pictures of notes.

The overall aesthetic impact of the structure of “it’s this way” by Nazim Hikmet illustrates the sudden change of mind from something beautifully described to something twisted and insidious. It also signifies the change of heart as the author describes the beautiful landscape of which he can be granted freedom- to then succumb to the truth shown above.
