I wonder if she will invite me to her party…”

24. Second Person • Narrator = someone addressing you, the reader • Second person pronouns: you, your, and yours are used. • Most stories are NOT told in second person. • Reserved for items of personal address, such as letters • Ex- “Grandma, before you go on your trip, please leave me your keys so I can feed your cat while you’re away. This POV is RARELY used 

25. Third Person Limited • Narrator = not character in story • tells story from one character’s point of view. • Narrator can see into the mind of onecharacter. • We find out only what this character does, knows, thinks and witnesses. • Third person pronouns: he, his, she, hers, it, its, they, and them • Example- Harry hoped Voldemort would show up to the party, so he could show him who’s boss. However, he soon realized that Voldemort was not coming.

26. Third Person Omniscient • Narrator = not character in the story • Third person pronouns: he, his, she, hers, it, its, they, and them • Narrator = all-knowing • Can see into the minds of all characters • Can report what is said and done • We find out what all of the characters do, feel, think, and witness • Example- “Leslie felt nervous while taking the math test.

45. Irony • A figure of speech in which words are used in such a way that their intended meaning is different from the actual meaning of the words. • It may also be a situation that may end up in quite a different way than what is generally anticipated. • In simple words, it is a difference between the appearance and the reality.

46. SITUATIONAL IRONY • An occasion in which the outcome is significantly different from what was expected or considered appropriate. Examples: • A man takes a step aside in order to avoid getting sprinkled by a wet dog and falls into a swimming pool. • A can of Rust—Oleum that is supposed to prevent things from rusting, but the can itself rusts!

47. Dramatic Irony • A technique that increases suspense by letting readers know more about the dramatic situation than the characters know. Example: • Scary Movies- characters have no idea when the murderer is behind them watching their every move, but we as the viewers know she is about to be killed

48. Verbal Irony • A figure of speech in which what is said is the opposite of what is meant . [a form of sarcasm] Examples: • Someone steps into a puddle of water by mistake and a friend remarks “Well now, don’t you have all the luck.” • You just received a speeding ticket, and you tell the police officer in your kindest voice, “Thank you so much officer.”

49. What type of Irony is this? “When the policeman on his beat sees a man standing in a doorway, he approaches, and the man explains that he is waiting for an old friend, whom he has not seen in twenty years. The policeman notices the man’s diamonds and remarks, “Did pretty well out West, did you,” and the stranger replies, “You bet!” While the policeman is apparently admiring the mans diamonds, he actually is noting the identity of this stranger. Then he tells the man in the doorway. “I hope your friend comes around all right.” (After Twenty Years) Verbal Irony Because since the policeman is actually the “friend”, he means other than what he says.

50. What type of Irony is this? When the tall man in an overcoat runs up to ‘Silky’ Bob to meet him, Bob believes it is Jimmy Wells. However, when the two men pass under the bright light of a street corner, Bob realizes that the man is not Jimmy Wells. Then, the tall man in an overcoat arrests ‘Silky’ Bob. Situational Irony As readers, we did not expect the tall man in an overcoat to be an undercover policeman who was sent by the real Jimmy Wells to arrest Bob.
