A House of My Own/Saturday at the Canal

Friendly Frank flips fine flapjacks.

Will you, William?

Six sharp smart sharks.

Silly Sally swiftly shooed seven silly sheep.

The seven silly sheep Silly Sally shooed shilly-

shallied south.

These sheep shouldn’t sleep in a shack; sheep

should sleep in a shed.

Describing

a Place

Follow these steps when describing a place:

1. Gather details about the place you are describing.

Describe things and people you see, as well as things

you hear, feel, and smell.

2. Create a sentence that tells your overall impression

about the place. This will be the topic sentence of

your description.

3. Write sentences that describe the place. Use the

details you have gathered to write sentences that

support the impression described in your topic

sentence.

4. Use words and phrases in your descriptions that your

readers can picture in their minds. Using metaphors

and similes can help readers "see" your description.

Verbal Irony

Verbal irony occurs when there is a difference

between what is stated and what is really

meant.

Irony Transparency #1

That sounded

terrible!

Wow! I’ve never

heard music like

that!



Dramatic Irony

Dramatic irony occurs when there is a

difference between what a character thinks

and what the audience knows to be true.

Harry believes his

house is haunted,

but the audience knows that

it’s just Harry’s Uncle Fred

playing a trick.




Situational IronyIn situational irony an event or circumstance

occurs that a character or the audience does not

expect.

The audience is sure that the story’s main character

will win the race,

but, in fact, she loses.




Identifying Irony

Is it verbal, dramatic, or situational irony?

Example #1

(Montressor has led Fortunato, whom he plans to kill, deep

underground to a damp wine vault. The dampness begins to

affects Fortunato’s health.)

“Enough,” [Fortunato] said; “the cough is a mere nothing; it

will not kill me. I will not die of a cough.”

“True, true,” [Montressor] replied.

“The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe

Example #2

Fortunato thinks he is going to the wine vault to taste wine, but

the audience knows Montressor is planning to murder him there.

“The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe

Example #3

Two thugs kidnap a boy, expecting his family to pay a large ransom

for his return. As it turns out, the boy is a brat. The kidnappers

“The Ransom of Red Chief” by O. Henry
