IRONY  Irony- contrast between what is stated and what is meant  Verbal Irony- use of words to suggest the opposite of their meaning; sarcasm Ex: You get an F on a reading quiz, and your buddy leans over to say, “Hey, nice work. You have must have read a lot last night.”  Dramatic Irony- occurs when readers are aware of something that a character is not Ex: You know the killer is hiding in the pantry, but the characters in the slasher movie are not aware of what you know  Situational Irony- occurs when the outcome of an action or situation is very different from what one expects Ex. Finding out that the helpful child psychiatrist is actually a ghost at the end of The Sixth Sense! Totally unexpected!

SIMILE  Simile- comparing two things using like or as  Ex. The passion that awoke in him that day, when he saw her at the gate, swept along like an avalanche, or like a prairie fire, or like anything that drives headlong over all obstacles. What is being compared in this simile?
