irony and ambiguity

At first I thought irony was just a piece of literature that was mainly about life, but I learned that this is wrong. Actually irony is the difference between what the readers exspect or what seems suitable and the reality of what happpens.

There are three types of irony: verbal irony, situational irony, and dramatic irony.

I also learned about Ambiguity. I used to think that ambiguity was a word that meant uncertain and beyond, but I learned ambiguity is a part of a text with multiple meanings in which something can be interpreted in a number of differant ways.

On my irony and ambiguity pretest, I was at below grade-level. On my post test I hope that I will be above grade-level and even better.
