"Irony & Ambiguity"

At first, I thought irony was a way of expressing feelings in a story, but I learned that this was wrong. Actually, irony is the difference between what seems suitable and the reality of what happens. Here are three types of irony: dramatic irony,verbal irony, and situational irony.
I also learned about ambiguity. I used to think ambiguity was when a reader makes predictions of the character, but I learned that ambiguity is a part of a text with multiple meanings in which something can be interpreted in a number of different ways. On my irony and ambiguity pretest, I was far below grade-level. On my posttest, I hope that I will be at grade-level.
