  2. Learning Target • Understanding the effect of irony and similes in literature

  3. Irony • Irony is a contrast between expectation and reality. Dramatic irony occurs when the reader knows something a character does not know. • What is ironic about Lina using blue to color the sky in her picture?

  4. Simile • The author uses similes to describe illness. Rewrite each of the following examples using literal language without similes. (In other words, what does the simile really mean.) • …he [Lina’s father] seemed to grow dim like a lamp losing power, and the sound of this breathing was like water gurgling through a clogged pipe. • It [Granny’s pulse] was fluttery, like a moth that has hurt itself and is flapping in crooked circles. • Why do you think the author uses similes instead of literal language for these passages?
