2. What is Irony?

5. 3 types of Irony • Verbal Irony • Situational Irony • Dramatic Irony

6. Verbal Irony • The simplest kind of irony. • You use it everyday when you say one thing and really mean another. • It is often similar to a sarcastic response. • Example: • When you appear to be sick and someone asks you if you’re okay. You say “Ofcourse!” But in the meantime you are vomiting and fainting.

7. Situational Irony • Occurs when a situation turns out to be the opposite of what you thought it would be. • Example: • The teacher’s daughter is a High School drop out. • The mayor’s wife gets caught stealing. • The chef won’t eat his/her own cooking. • The barber always needs a hair cut himself.

8. Dramatic Irony • Occurs when the audience knows something that the characters in the story, on the screen, or on the stage do not know. It’s like the audience is more aware of what’s going on than the people in the production. • This is used to engage the audience and keep them actively involved in the storyline.

9. Dramatic Ironycontinued… • In all of the Friday the 13th movies, we know Jason is in the woods. The characters do not. When they go out into the woods we are afraid for them because we know that they are in danger. We scream for them to run, we get excited when they fall, we cringe when we know that Jason is right behind the tree.

10. Review • Irony is a kind of a surprise. It is the difference between what is expected to happen, and what actually does happen. • Irony is like a glitch, a twist, or a last minute switch in the game. It is an interruption of events that cause an unexpected outcome. There are three types of irony: • Verbal • Situational • Dramatic

14. Cold War From the end of World War II until the early 1990s, the world faced a period of heightened international tension and competition called the Cold War. The United States and the non-communist world faced extraordinary circumstances, which they saw as a threat to world peace, democracy, and security: Soviet development of atomic weapons, Soviets flexing their newfound nuclear muscles, Soviets extending their political ideology into Europe and elsewhere. The Federal Civil Defense Administration The federal government responded to heightened public anxiety by creating the Federal Civil Defense Administration (FCDA), later called the Office of Civil Defense, to instruct the public about how to prepare for a nuclear assault. The Eisenhower administration distributed information to educate Americans about how they could protect themselves. Survival literature was written primarily for a suburban audience, since it was assumed that cities would be targets and most urban dwellers would not survive. Officials at the FCDA stated that if people were educated and prepared for a nuclear attack, they could survive an atomic bomb and avoid the wholesale death and destruction that had occurred at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

15. myopic seeing distinctly at a short distance only; near sighted. ominous portending evil or harm; foreboding; threatening;

16. In situational irony, the actions involved have a different outcome than were intended. It is also called irony of events and usually involves contradictions. One of the most commonly known and familiar examples of situational irony is The Wizard of Oz. The scarecrow continued to wish for a brain only to realize at the end that he was, in fact, a genius. The lion was courageous after all, and all the while wished for courage.

17. Another example is from the O”Henry short story “The Gift of the Magi”. A poor couple sell their most valued possessions in order to buy the other a wonderful gift which can no longer be used. The wife sold her hair to a wig maker to buy her husband a chain for his watch, and he sold his watch to buy her a comb for her beautiful hair.
