40 big daddy points what is the definition of situational irony? a) a situation in which an author makes fun of human flaws and imperfections b) a situation in which the reader knows something the characters do not know c) a situation in which what happens is the opposite of what was expected to happen d) a situation in which a character says the opposite of what he or she really means

The correct option is "C". A situational irony refers to a situation in which what was intended to happen has an opposite effect, so the result is contrary to what was expected. It is a literary device that occurs when contradictions appears between what someone expects to happen, but the outcome is completely different.

An example of situational irony: A racing car driver has a fear of speed. This situation is ironic because racing car drivers spend most of their time driving at high speed.

hey there

use of language is very important in order to write in a good way. each literary genre has its different exploitation of language and, therefore, many differences and similarities can emerge. shakespeare's work (romeo and juliet) is a sample of a drama. its language is full of dialogue to describe the beauty of first love in people; everything it's pink color. it briefly describes fictional scenes and situations. on the other hand, the calypso borealis, by john muirs, it's narrative essay: its language is full of descriptions to describe an experience, a real experience. hyperbole is not used as in drama genre. he falls in love with discovering a real place and his direct feelings.
