IronyIrony is an implied discrepancy between what is meant and what is said. Irony occurs in my life in many ways. Usually people think I might be stuck up and conceited before they meet me. I often hear because I look like the type of person to be stuck up. I love taking pictures and people say I love the way I look. I only like the way I look in pictures because in person I find more flaws. Irony is normal because everybody assumes, but it can often be an incorrect thought. I observe it every day in life. Boys who wear pants hanging off their bottom are considered trouble makers, ghetto,and not educated. When at other times it can just be a style. The boy could be really good in school and not street at all. Another irony is when we look at rich people. We always assume that they are happy and have everything. Money can't always make you happy, certain rich people are the most depressed people there is. The irony is that people use appearance to judge or believe that a person is one way and they can be the total opposite. In the poem "Richard Cory" by Edwin Arlington Robinson there is irony. Richard Cory is a guy who's very wealthy as mentioned in the poem "richer than a king". He was in shape and well taken care of, "Clean favored, and imperially slim.". People admired him as well as envy his glamor. The people wish they were in his shoes because of the life he lived. Richard Cory was very quiet he didn't stop to make conversation he was to himself. Never looked for attention talked in a calm, normal tone "he was always human when he talked". The irony of this poem is the people assumed that Richard Cory was happy because of his wealth and appearance. Assuming was different from the truth. Richard Cory killed himself "one calm summer night, Went home and put a bullet through his head". Things don't always seem to be what it really is. Richard Cory seemed happy to the eyes of the other people but he obviously wasn't. The irony in Lamb To The Slaughter by Roald Dahl. In this story there one basic irony. There was a wife and a husband. The wife was excitingly waiting for her husband Patrick "Now and again she would glance up at the clock, but without anxiety, merely to please herself with the thought that each minute gone by made it nearer the time when he would come." When Patrick arrived home he was strangly acting different. Everything the wife did he would either not make a response or say no. He told her something bad "It didn't take long, four or five minutes at most, and she stayed very still through it all, watching him with a kind of dazed horror as he went further and further away from her with each word". The wife was shocked and was in denial. She ignored what he said and pretend everything was normal. Everything wasn't normal though. The wife tried to make food and get everything to it's regular basis but the husband wanted to leave. "For God's sake, he said, hearing her, but not turning round. Don't make supper for me. I'm going out."She swung the big frozen Lamb and hit him with full force in the back of his head. He was dead. She had to play it off, and she did. Knowing what she done and being the wife of a detective she knew how to not get caught. The cops came over to investigate her husband death. She fed every one the lamb she cooked. They ate the evidence. The irony of this story is the cops came over to look for evidence and find the murderer and the wife was the suspect the whole time. The lamb was the tool used to kill, they wont ever know that because they ate it. The article "The House That The Slaves Built" includes irony. In this article they mentioned that black people built the White House. The white house back in the days was literally a white house. Blacks weren't allowed in the house. Only whites lived there. Today Barack Obama and his family live in the White House. Barack Obama is black. The irony of this article is that time changed. Before the White House was only for white people now there is a black family living in the white house. The white house is no longer a white person house.
Irony is like sarcasm. Something that's obvious. "Where's my keys?" and the key is right in her hand. Irony can be in a picture, story, article or just everyday things people do. Irony often happens to me. Reading these stories and picking a picture involved irony. When I make a sarcastic response to a friend Irony also takes part. The irony I just finish taking a look at had several kinds to it, some were funny and others were serious. In Richard Corey the Irony was that everyone envied him and he killed himself. With the Lamb To Slaughter the detectives were looking for the evidence and the killer and they ate the evidence. There suspect was right in their presence. In The House The Slaves Built the irony was that Obama and his family live in the White House and years before a black person was able to step foot in the White house was black slaves who made it.

In this picture there is irony. There is a guy and a cat. The caption
says "Poor thing, spending all day starring through the glass at stuff you"ll
never have". When I look at the cat I will see the cat starring out the window
at birds. Then there is a man on the couch starring at the tv. The tv shows
a girl, boat, and a car. The irony is both the man and the cat are inside
looking at stuff they aren't going to have.
