Irony

<

Irony: a situation in which something which was intended to have a particular result has the opposite or a very different result
The irony (of it) is that the new tax system will burden those it was intended to help.
a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.
General Zaroff is so concerned about following rules and proper manners, but he spends his time killing humans. 
Someone who had trouble defining irony, unless she purposefully sang a song about irony which had no irony, which would be very ironic, is the Canadian Alanis Morissette. 








In your groups, take 5 non-ironic situations in the song above, and make them actually ironic.
Example-In the song it says a traffic jam when you are already late is ironic (it isn't). What would be ironic is having a traffic jam everyday you try and get to school on time and then the one day you wouldn't mind being late, having no traffic jam.
