6. Our Purpose for Reading
Examining a text for evidence of irony and the mood of the selection

7. Mood
Mood – how the text affects the reader’s feelings and emotions Example: a story with bright imagery, cool places, and funny dialogue would make a reader possibly feel happy, joyous, amused What might a story with creepy noises, dark places, and an unpleasant environment make a reader feel?

8. Irony
3 Types Dramatic Irony Situational Irony Verbal Irony

9. Irony
Dramatic Irony- The audience knows something a character doesn’t For example: Skeeter talks smack about Roger. Roger is listening from another room. We know Roger is doing this… but Skeeter does not… Uh oh.

10. Irony
Situational Irony – What we expect to happen does not For example: Skeeter knows Roger always eats at Burger King Skeeter decides to go to Five Guys instead Skeeter walks in to see Roger at Five Guys… oh great

11. Irony
Verbal Irony – Someone says the opposite of what they mean For example: Skeeter steps in dog poo after being dumped by his girlfriend who left him for Roger Skeeter says “this is the best day of my life”
