Lego Movie Ironies
One big claim that was mentioned the most in Chapter 26, was how ironies was used as an element of surprise in many pieces of literature, from the movies, to books of any kind, all the way to poems. The Lego Movie had so many ironies, that the amount was figuratively uncountable. In this presentation, I chose two obvious evidence to convey even further the point that Thomas C. Foster claimed.
The video on the top left, is a video clip of Emmett's colleagues reflecting on who Emmet is as a person. Emmett's friends think of him as an useless nobody, with no special talent, or anything unique about him to differ from all of the other people of Bricksburg .The video on the top right is a video of Wyldstyle stating the prophecy in front

    Dark Days Sociological Analysis

    The social structure that I observed in the video is, as I stated earlier, people who were outcast-ed from society as a whole due to the fact that they were possibly born in to poverty stricken homes without much opportunity. Most of these people had lived tragic lives with many traumatic experiences, which possibly lead them to more resentfulness towards society from these individuals. But what I noticed was the companionship that these people represented, because they understood each others struggles, they provided each other with a sense of social structure and replicated the family essence.…

    Foreshadowing In The Odyssey

    Since the birth of prose, various literary techniques such as tone, imagery, similes, and foreshadowing have been used by authors to engender specific impressions upon their audience. Like an artist's pallet of paint, authors color their words with vibrancy through the use of these literary tools. In the Greek work the Iliad, Homer skillfully utilizes similes and foreshadowing in an innovative way. Rather than approaching them as separate entities, he notably combines them by foreshadowing in the form of a simile about what will come to pass. Though the fall of Troy may not be told directly in the Iliad, numerous comparisons are drawn between the element of fire and Ilion, alluding to its anticipated and foreseen demise. Through critical analysis of three specific epic similes, it is apparent that the functions which Homer's similes serve not only surpass extravagant imagery, but also heighten anticipation about an expected occurrence and expand the descriptive power of each scene in which they appear.…

    Irony In 'The Lady, Or The Tiger?'

    In the story "The Gift of the Magi" Della and Jim both gave away their most prized possessions to get each other gifts that they can not use. "'I sold the watch to get the money to buy your combs'" (Daniel 292). People would not have expected Della and Jim to both sell one another's prized possession to get gift so it surprises them. In the story "Thank You, M'am" after Roger fails to steal Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones’s pocketbook, she takes him back to her apartment to feed him food instead of turning him in to the police. "'Then we'll eat,' said the woman. "I believe you're hungry—or been hungry—to try to snatch my pocketbook'" (Daniel 89). This story takes a completely different outcome than what the reader would have thought and it surprises the reader through situational irony. Another example is in the story "The Sniper" the sniper kills an enemy sniper who turns out to be his own brother. "[T]he sniper turned over the dead body and looked into his brother’s face" (Daniel 215). The reader would not have expected the enemy sniper to be his brother. This ironic situation creates a surprise to the readers and a twist in the story. An interesting story has surprises from situational irony to engage the reader's attention to keep the reader…

    Irony In A Good Man Is Hard To Find

    Irony and surprise are common literary devices authors use to communicate their ideas when writing literary works. Irony allows the writer to suggest an interpretation that is different from the literal meaning of the words used in the text. The element of surprise allows the writer to manipulate the reader’s expectations and take them somewhere completely different. In the short stories, A Good Man Is Hard to Find by Flanney O’Connor and Happy Endings by Margaret Atwood, both authors use the element of irony and surprise to engage readers and to develop deeper levels of meaning in their text.…

    Lord Of The Flies Verbal Irony Analysis

    The irony within situations and statements dominates a story's plot, contributing to both the rising and the falling action, which William Golding accentuates in Lord of the Flies. When a group of young boys crash their plane on an island, they perceive the situation as an adventure, but they soon realize the danger in the unpropitious circumstances at hand. Through the situational and verbal irony that arises, Golding delineates how people can hypocritically adapt to having characteristics they do not condone in others and how innocence shields children from seeing flaws in adults.…

    Methods Of Recovery In Infinite Jest By Frank Cioffi

    In a way, Dulk points this out, writing that, contrary to the effect of Infinite Jest the film, “there is the novel Infinite Jest, which is expressive of a completely different “infinity”: not an endless, aesthetic irony, but a novel that facilitates endless re-engagement...” Dulk finds the surplus within the reader’s encounter with the text, which, as he states, contrasts with the “ironic-aesthetic attitude” that the film represents. However, the ensuing implication that the film and the novel are operationally separate, in that the latter solves or outdoes the entrapment in the former, is somewhat misleading in that it assumes the reader’s relation to the film occurs exclusively through the characters. However, in some sense this conflates the reader with the narrator, who transports in and out of characters, never establishing sovereignty in relation to them. Instead of claiming that the novel and film function differently, I am arguing that the film itself operates in at least two ways—one in view of the victims and one with regards to the readers—in the same way that relations in the novel involve functions of both capture and escape. Perhaps the most prominent difference between the film and the novel doubles as a key difference between film and literature—whereas in film the viewer is provided images, the novel’s reader must construct them. In…
