Irony & Ambiguity

At first, I thought irony was to go through a lot of pain, but I learned that this was wrong. Actually, irony is the difference between what the readers expect or what seems suitable and the reality of what happens.

There are three types of irony; situational, verbal, and dramatic irony.

I also learned about ambiguity. I used to think ambiguity was to be stuck up or absurd, but I learned that ambiguity is a part of text with multiple meanings in which something can be interpreted in a number of different ways.

On my irony and ambiguity pretest, I scored far-below grade-level. On my post test, I hope that I will score above grade-level.
