Situational Irony

Situational Irony: An irony that stems from a certain situation or placement of objects/ideas.

Euphemism

Definition: The substitution of a mild, indirect, or vague expression for one thought to be offensive, harsh, or blunt.

Example: Saying “He passed away" is a euphemism because it is a gentler way of saying "he died."

In the picture, I drew a dog that "went to live on a farm", a phrase you often hear in movies or TV shows when a parent tries to find a delicate way to tell their children their dog has died.

Pun

Definition: The humorous use of a word or phrase so as to emphasize or suggest its different meanings or applications, or the use of words that are alike or nearly alike in sound but different in meaning; a play on words.

Example: I drew a picture of a pun I found on the internet. First, there is a hungry clock, but then after the time goes back four seconds back, the clock isn't hungry anymore. Hence, the clock goes back "four seconds" (for seconds).

Didactic

Didactic: Intended to convey instruction and information as well as pleasure and entertainment.

The example that I drew was a Youtube Video that will teach one to make friends using Google Chrome and Youtube. Plus there is a cool instructor in it who happens to have a lot of friends.

Onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia: a word or phrase that imitates the sound made by something else. -David Ayer

"Oink" said Bob, imitating the sound of a pig.

Dramatic Irony

Dramatic Irony- When the words and action of the characters of the work of literature have a different meaning for the reader then they do for the characters. This is the result of the reader knowing more than the character. Ex: In Romeo and Juliet we know that Juliet isn't truly dead at first, but Romeo doesn't.
