Two examples of irony

Answer 1

Irony is a type of literary technique that describes something that is exactly contrary to what someone expects, and is usually funny as a result. Two examples are:

"It seemed kind of ironic that I posted a video on facebook about how boring facebook is."

"It was ironic that the king named his biggest dog Tiny."

Answer 2

The main one revolved around being crazy. You can't fly if you are crazy, but you must be crazy if you are flying when people are trying to kill you. The commander would not see anyone. If someone wanted to see him they would have to wait until he was notified so he could leave first. Usually by jumping out the window. There was always a catch. One wartime businessman had his people do an air strike on their own airfield in a deal with the enemy. It was cost effective.

Answer 3

1. A fire station burning down is an example of situational irony, as the very place meant to put out fires is destroyed by one.
2. A teacher misspelling "grammar" is an example of verbal irony, as it contradicts the teacher's supposed expertise in the subject.
