2 Inversion Inversion- when the normal order of words is reversed in order to achieve a particular effect of emphasis or meter. Similar to anastrophe Can be achieved by: Placing an adjective after the noun it qualifies  Ex. the soldier strong Placing a verb before its subject  Ex. shouts the policeman Placing a noun before its preposition  Ex. worlds between

3 Irony Irony - when words are used in such a way that their intended meaning is different from the actual meaning of the words Examples:  I named my German Sheppard "tiny“.  I wrote an essay about how boring essays are.

4 3 Kinds of Irony Verbal Irony- involves saying something that one does not mean  Ex. (to a bad idea) "What a great idea!" Situational Irony- situation in which actions have an effect that is opposite from what was intended or expected  Ex. when you laugh at someone who tripped and then you trip Dramatic Irony- develops when the characters act to show their ignorance to a situation which the audience is aware for  Ex. In Romeo and Juliet, we know that the characters will die before they do

5 Juxtaposition Juxtaposition - when two or more ideas, places, characters and their actions etc. are placed side by side in a narrative or poem to show comparisons and contrasts Examples:  A Tale of Two Cities: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness“  Romeo and Juliet: “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear;”
