At first, I thought irony was a narrative but I learned that this was wrong. Actually irony is a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or attitude opposite to that which is actually or ostensibly stated. There are three types of irony dramatic irony, verbal irony, and situational irony. I also learned about ambiguity. I used to think ambiguity was a language but I learned that ambiguity is doubtfulness or uncertainty of meaning or intention. On my irony and ambiguity pretest, I was.below grade-level. On my posttest, I hope that I will be at grade-level.

theme

At first, I thought theme was a topic, but I learned that this was wrong. Actually, theme is a central idea or insight about life and human nature that gives a story meaning. Some themes are universal, which means that they are commonly found in literature of all cultures and ages. The five main genres of literature are non-fiction, fiction, poetry, drama, and myth. Since I now understand theme, I can find the theme of my favorite movie. My favorite movie is "little man". The theme of this movie is: never trust the most obvious. On my theme pretest, I was below grade-level. On my posttest, I hope that I will be at or above grade-level.
