Concept Development: Irony
Verbal--when someone says one thing but means the opposite
Situational--an occurrence that is not just surprising; it is the opposite of what we expected
Dramatic--when we (the audience) know what is in store for a character, but the character does not know

When the opposite of what we expected happens.
For Example: When John Hinckley attempted to assassinate
President Ronald Reagan, all of his shots initially missed the President; however a bullet ricocheted off the bullet-proof windows of the Presidential limousine
and struck Reagan in the chest. Thus, the windows made to protect the President from gunfire were
partially responsible for his being shot.

Compact Bedford Introduction to Literature
"[Ambiguity] allows for two or more simultaneous interpretations of a word, phrase, action, or situation, all of which can be supported by the context of a work. Deliberate ambiguity can contribute to the effectiveness and richness of a work.... However, unintentional ambiguity obscures meaning and can confuse readers."

Ambiguous stories tend to linger in readers’ minds the longest because ambiguity challenges readers’ imaginations.
They encourage readers to discuss their thoughts and ideas with others.
CFU: Tell your partner an example of a movie, book, or story that is ambiguous.
