This week I have been learning about irony. There is 3 different types of irony. Verbal irony, dramatic irony and situational irony. They all mean stuff to do with opposite.
When Tom and James left the house they both noticed the weather was absolutely terrible. They had to walk 20 minutes to school. It was gushing down and the wind could almost pick you up and fly you away. Five minutes into the walk it started hailing. Tom looked at James and said “the weathers great today, isn’t it”.
In this piece of writing there is verbal irony which is the same as sarcasm. Saying something when you actually mean another, e.g “the weathers great today, isn’t it” when you know that the weather was actually horrible and the opposite of great.
Hi Ava. I'm glad you show how clearly you understand irony as now I can point out to you when you use it with me!! xx Mum.
