At first, I thought irony was a situation that doesn’t happen they way you want it to be, but I learned that this was wrong. Actually, irony is the different between what the readers expect and what seems suitable and the reality of what happens. There are three types of irony: verbal, situational, and dramatic.
I also learned about ambiguity. I used to think ambiguity was being in a painful situation, but I learned that ambiguity is a part of a text with multiple meaning in which something can be interpreted in a number of different ways.
On my irony and ambiguity pretest, I was below grade-level. On my posttest, I hope that I will be above grade-level.
