Irony (n) Ironic (adj):
When something turns out the opposite of what you would
expect.
Also, sort of like sarcasm. Examples:
-
It was ironic that the fire station burned down.
-
It was ironic that the police station was robbed.
-
It was ironic that the soldier survived the war and
then was shot on his own front porch after returning home safely.
-
Give an example of irony from The Outsiders, and one
from real life.
