detention, the Principal gives you an award. Which irony is this?

room is my favorite thing in the world.”
Deep down, you really hate cleaning your room. Which irony is this?
§

Titanic the characters board the state of the art vessel with enthusiasm,
because they were the first to board this “unsinkable ship” and would be able

as lifeboats. Which irony is this?
Write the type of irony found in each
example on the left side of your Cnotes. Also explain why it’s this type of
irony.

boyfriend shows up in ripped up jeans and a stained t-shirt. You say, "Oh!
I see you dressed up for your date. You must be taking her to a fancy restaurant.”

from death out of nowhere by the French.
