  1. Types of Irony Situational Irony (Irony)-when the opposite of what you expect to occur happens; an unexpected twist Dramatic Irony- when the audience knows something that the characters do not Verbal Irony- when you say one thing but mean the opposite; sarcasm

  2. The Sniper • Setting: Dublin, Ireland; during the Ireland Industrial Civil War; one night in June • Republicans vs. Free Staters Imagery: when the author paints a picture in the readers mind; descriptions that appeals to the five senses to create a vivid image in your mind

  3. The Sniper • The Republican Sniper’s plan: place his cap on top of his rifle in order to seem as though the rifle is a person. • The free- stater sees the silhouette of the “sniper” (really the cap on the rifle) and takes a shot. • Thinking he succeeded, the free-stater makes himself visible. • The Republican sniper takes his shot and defeats the free-stater.

  4. The Sniper End result: the two snipers are brothers How does Irony play a role in the story? How does the republican sniper change during this one night mission?

  5. More Literary Terms • Point of view: 3rd person point of view- however, it is limited because we only see the story from the Republican’s side. • Simile- comparing two unlike things using like or as Ex: City machine guns and rifles broke the silence of the night spasmodically, like dogs barking on lone farms. • Metaphor- comparing two unlike things Ex: His bullets would never pierce the steel that covered the gray monster.
