  4. PLOT • a series of related events. Throughout the course of a story’s plot, events unfold, build to climax, and are then brought to a conclusion during the resolution.

  5. IRONY • Verbal Irony: Contrast between what is said and what is meant • EX: Saying “Nice weather today, huh?” on a rainy day. Saying something is “as clear as mud.” (sarcasm, understatement, etc.) • Dramatic Irony: Contrast between what a character thinks to be true and what the reader knows to be true • EX: Scary movie where you know the killer is in the closet the character is about to open, but the character does not. • Situational Irony: Contrast between the intent of an action and the result • EX: When a man attempted to assassinate Ronald Reagan, all of his shots missed the President; however a bullet ricocheted off the bullet-proof windows of the President’s limo and struck him in the chest. Thus, the windows made to protect him from gunfire were partially responsible for his being shot.

  6. IRONYIs it irony? If so, what kind? ARE THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES OF IRONY? WHY OR WHY NOT? rain on your wedding day an ambulance driver rushes to the scene of an accident, only to run the victim over lying to someone about how you feel about them a free ride when you already paid telling a poor bowler he should go pro to emphasize how bad he is a traffic jam when you’re already late 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife

  7. JOURNAL ENTRY #2“Full Circle” -- Karma Do you believe in karma? Why or why not? You may respond by simply stating your opinion on this topic OR you may be a bit more creative and create a creative piece that deals with karma. The comment I use most on journal entries is “more”; don’t give up points because you are too lazy/careless to do your best work. These are free form responses, so you will not be penalized for M.U.G.S. or organizational errors.
