irony and ambiguity

At first, I thought irony was something that was weird, but I learned that this was wrong. Actually, irony is what is expected from the story may turn out to be different. There are three types of irony: Situational irony, Dramatic irony, and verbal irony. I also learned about ambiguity. I used to think ambiguity was sarcasm, but I learned that ambiguity is a piece of writing that has multiple meanings or that can be interpreted in many different ways. On my irony and ambiguity pretest, I was far below grade-level. On my posttest, I hope that I will be above grade-level.
