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.
