Irony - 2nd Hr by Mary Clinkert https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi Irony connections to source texts and your life en-us 2017-03-08 14:24:24 UTC 2025-11-06 04:13:50 UTC hello@padlet.com Ryan Wolch https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158675198 1. The Lottery is an example of Irony.
2. She does this by when Tessie goes and says get up their Bill, in the end she is the one that gets the black dot.
3. Yes, Irony can be in our community because if you say that you are the smartest kid in the class and then you fail the final.]]> 2017-03-08 14:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158675198 Jason Pawlak https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158675275 1. In Omelas, there is a big example of Irony in their society.
2. The author created a situation that can destroy the society or keep the child.
3. Yes, Irony is everywhere in our school. ]]> 2017-03-08 14:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158675275 Alex Greer https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158678643 Irony-the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

Every reading we have read has explored this concept

They explore this by making a dark humorous statement or an otherwise outlandish theory in the reading. 

Many times in my life has there been concepts of irony.

In The Lottery, the author leads the audience to believe that this town event is something positive, when in fact it is negative.  Lifeboat Ethics surprisingly talked about not saving a few, but teaching them with tough love.

I see irony in instruction and in television.

I think irony can be shown by what we know is right and what shouldn't be happening but is.
I think sarcasm can be taken as irony at times.

Irony is present in our lives just from what people do/say and what is shown on tv.]]> 2017-03-08 15:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158679252 J.H. https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158679813 In the lottery when the mom tried to get them to redraw to protect her child she ended up being the one who was stoned

An example would be when you know the answers to a test but still fail the test

They all participate in it. But once they get picked or someone from their family gets picked they claim that it is unfair and wrong. 
Irony is all around us at school and in society. Everyone participates or has some form of irony going on every day in their lives. ]]> 2017-03-08 15:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158680050 Sam A. https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158681120 “The Lottery” uses irony when Tessie comes late to the lottery, but it is her who is picked to be the sacrifice. “...Omelas” demonstrates this device when they have no guilt in a city of happiness despite locking an innocent child up in a basement.
 
Irony is used often in everyday life as well as in many different forms of literature.

Singer’s solution to world poverty would be another great piece with irony involved.

6.) The Lottery is such a great example because at the end of the story when tessie  gets the slip of paper she knows that winning it was good for everyone else but then right when she wins it she immediately regrets it and everyone screams that it’s not fair. 

Singer's solution is also great because he provides amazing examples for short term solutions but then in the long run they wouldn't work, so this is irony because they won't last very long 

7.) When my mom tells me that it’s ok to hang out with friends but she knows that I know that she wants me to help her clean the house.

  • Singer’s solution to world poverty shows irony because he claims that we all say we value lives more than materials but if we had to choose between getting new clothes and donating to charity we would probably choose getting new clothes.
  • It's ironic in Omelas that happiness is caused by misery.
  • I see irony in HHS because we claim to give equal representation to all extracurriculars like sports and art and sciences but the art and sciences barely get any acknowledgement or fanfare because we put much more emphasis on sports.

    Another definition: a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result

    It is ironic to become poor from helping the poor. 

    Seeing a guy run the entire track backwards and beating a guy going forwards

    Irony at the high school is when students say they hate the cafeteria food, but they buy and eat it everyday

    ]]>     2017-03-08 15:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158683456     Katy B. https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158684265 The term Irony is defined as the significance of one’s words that reflects in another situation later. The sources that uses this term are The One’s Who Walk from Omelas and Life Boat Ethics. These texts show irony because they state many things about helping the poor but nobody chooses to do so. I see it around me sometimes, it really isn’t that obvious to me. For example though when someone says they don’t like meat but will eat a pepperoni pizza later on because they are hungry.  ]]> 2017-03-08 15:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158684265 Delaney Krewer https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158686514  In Omelas the author states that if they were to let the boy go and stop neglecting him that guilt would seep into there walls, but many of the citizens in Omelas feel guilty about neglecting the boy. In The Lottery it is ironic that Tessie waited to fight till the end, she only protesting the town’s actions when she was picked to be “sacrificed”. Authors use irony help the readers reflect on our reality. We see irony everyday Trump trying to ban Muslim immigrants, ironic because we are a country made from immigrants.

    In the Lottery Irony is shown when Tessie arrives and cracks a joke then just to be the one chosen in the end.

    In the World Poverty Irony is shown by the author trying to get the reader to donate by giving examples of having luxury or saving a child.

    I can see it happening at HHS, I don’t have an example right now but it happens

Tessie is the one who makes a joke about getting picked, and she's also the one gets picked in the end. Irony is definitely present at HHS. For example, it is ironic when I see teachers with strict cell phone policies using their cell phones in the classroom. ]]> 2017-03-08 15:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158688039 Nate N. https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158771436 The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas, and The Catcher in the Rye both use Irony.
    How Catcher in the Rye uses Irony is that Holden thinks he's the greatest in the world, but everyone else thinks he's a jerk; in The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas, the town seems perfect, except for one small complication: there's a small, deformed child in the basement of one of the buildings.
    I see Irony at HHS, because the kids want the school to be better, but they're not doing anything about it.]]>     2017-03-08 18:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158771436     A.D https://padlet.com/mclinkert/1comyslcxsoi/wish/158799900
  • A texts that we’ve read that explores irony is the lifeboat reading because it is more so the irony that the reason we are this situation because of the poor when it more so the rich because the resources they have they keep to themselves instead of providing to help the poor
  • Authors you irony to justify or bring notice to a situation or standpoint and help the reader understand where the irony falls in place and what is being said around the fact of the irony.
  • I see irony in HHS when teachers say that do not give out a lot of homework so there is no reason as to why you cannot finish it but then turn around and complain about how much grading they have to do. When in actuality we all have the same amount of workload.
