Oh, dude, Henry Slesar totally threw some irony into "Examination Day" by making the government's mandatory IQ test for kids a literal life or death situation. Like, talk about high stakes for a pop quiz, am I right? It's like the ultimate "pass or die" scenario, which is pretty darkly funny if you ask me.
"Examination Day" by Henry Slesar conveys a cautionary message about the dangers of state control and the suppression of individual talent. The story highlights the fear of a society that views intelligence as a threat, leading to tragic consequences for those who exceed predetermined limits. Through the story’s chilling conclusion, Slesar critiques the harsh realities of conformity and the loss of individuality in the face of oppressive governance. Ultimately, it serves as a warning against the devaluation of intellectual freedom.
because he was too smart and i personally think that the government is onto something and they dont want people finding out but if they arnet smart then they cant figure it out

Verbal Irony is like sarcasm and like situational irony just spoken. Situational irony is when the opposite occurs than what you expect to happen. Some examples are: the on duty police man was pulled over for speeding.
A non-example of irony could be a straightforward statement or situation where there is no contrast between what is expected and what actually happens, such as stating the sky is blue on a clear day.

A police officer getting arrested.A teacher getting caught for plagiarism.A tow truck being towed.Remember there are 3 types of irony. Verbal, Situational and Dramatic.
Irony is used to hide the true meaning of what is really wanted to be said. You're incredibly beautiful, it has been said to an ugly woman is an example of irony.

When it is raining outside, and someone says "Oh! What a beautiful day!"
That would be verbal irony, where the speaker says the opposite of what they really mean for emphasis or humor. For example, saying "What a beautiful day" when it is actually raining.
