Worksheet... we'll see if we can clarify this together. I took this first section from http://dragreduction.blogspot.com/2005/11/irony-vs-coincidence.html
Several different concepts fall under the umbrella of irony, and this is, perhaps, one source of confusion. The concept I will focus on here is called situational irony1. From now on, whenever I say "irony," I'm referring specifically to situational irony. When I say something is "NOT IRONIC," though, I'm probably talking about irony in general. OK... that said, here we go.
Situational irony is the type of irony you are most likely to come across — or use — in conversation. As used here, situational irony is defined as:
i‧ro‧ny
Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs.
It sounds harmless, I know. The big issue, in my experience, is that the concept of situational irony is often confused with that of coincidence.2 As used here, coincidence is defined as:
co‧in‧ci‧dence
co‧in‧ci‧dence
A sequence of events that, although accidental, seems to have been planned or arranged.
Pay close attention now, because this is where it gets confusing. To call a fact or event ironic is to make a statement about the relationship between the actuality of a fact or event and one's expectations regarding that fact or event. To call a fact or event coincidental, on the other hand, is to make a statement about the relationship between that fact or event and another, independent fact or event.
I know it sounds confusing, but it really isn't. Consider the situation described below as an example of what I'm talking about.
Person A and Person B are driving; they approach an intersection at which there is a traffic light, and collide.
Bystander C reports the accident, and Police Offer D arrives at the scene shortly. D finds that while B is clear and coherent, A is fairly tipsy.
Based on this information, D makes the following statment to C: "Well, it's pretty clear what happened here. Drunk drivers... what a menace."
As it turns out, though, B is as much to blame as A. B was not paying attention, and ran the light when it was red; alcohol-impaired as he was, A could not stop in time to avoid the accident.
C, having witnessed the collision, responds thus to D's statement: "Ironically, officer, B is as much to blame as A. It's really an unfortunate coincidence that B ran the light right in front of a drunk driver."
So... raise your hand if you followed that. Ooooookay, I'll explain. C knows what he's talking about (har har har). Because A was drunk, one would expect the accident to have been entirely his fault. The actuality of the event — the fact that B is also to blame — is incongruous with the expectation, and is thus ironic. What one must keep in mind, however, is that B's crime (running the red light) and A's (driving drunk) were completely independent events that happened to interact in an unexpected way — quite a coincidence.
Work with a partner to evaluate the following situations. Are they actually ironic, coincidental, just kind of sad/annoying? You decide.
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."

When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

Responses to the Parable
I think that the bat was just going to be used and he did the right thing. He didn't belong to either group and he didn't change either.
You need to figure out who you are to find your place in the world. You need to belong to a group and have friends to be respected.
The bat pretty much doesn't want to pick sides. He doesn't want to get involved if it will end badly. It's just like being racist-- don't put other people down. It won't end well.
I feel bad for the bad because he isn't a bird or a beast so he can't join either group. He doesn't have friends because he isn't either one. Lying gets you nowhere. If you're not one of two things then you don't have friends.
I think the bat did good and that he should go find his own group of bats to hang with.
I guess that relates to what's happening lately in our school.
It's sort of amusing in some ways, but also depressing.
The bat should've stayed neutral and then neither of the groups would've been mean to him. If he wouldn't have said anything to either group he could have had more friends. The bat should just find his own friends and leave the birds and beasts alone.
I think it's saying that if you're not like anyone else you're a lone ranger... you try to fit in but you're always a little different.
I believe that this could be like many real life situations. I think that if something is going to happen and someone doesn't pick a side they will be abandoned.
It's obviously about being different and not fitting in, but I think the moral of the story is that just because you're different people shouldn't hate you or shun you. Accept those for who they are-- don't hate them for what they look like. I feel bad for the bat.

FW: Read 3.1 and 3.2 of The Tempest and begin filling out the packet! I don't know if our discussion went anywhere or not...
Study Hall: Let's just focus on NOT using racial slurs. Words don't simply mean whatever you decide they mean... historical context is important.

Crew: Essay responses due at the beginning of class on Monday for GM. Let's focus less on hiring/becomming assassins... and more on analyzing literature (although it WAS interesting, it was less than productive).

Hour 2: What happened to the two missing posters? So weird that large pieces of tagboard can go missing in this classroom.
The Bat, the Birds, and the Beasts |
A GREAT conflict was about to come off between the Birds and the Beasts. When the two armies were collected together the Bat hesitated which to join. The Birds that passed his perch said: “Come with us”; but he said: “I am a Beast.” Later on, some Beasts who were passing underneath him looked up and said: “Come with us”; but he said: “I am a Bird.” Luckily at the last moment peace was made, and no battle took place, so the Bat came to the Birds and wished to join in the rejoicings, but they all turned against him and he had to fly away. He then went to the Beasts, but soon had to beat a retreat, or else they would have torn him to pieces. “Ah,” said the Bat, “I see now,

Senior English
1. Each of the Wingfields escapes from unpleasant reality into a comforting, private world. In Scene One, Amanda escapes from her present circumstances by remembering and talking about her past youth, her beauty, and her romantic successes. How does Laura escape from the real world? What does Tom do to escape from his unhappiness?
2. What part does Laura play in the angry argument between Tom and Amanda?
In the opening of Scene four, Tom describes the magic show that he saw while he was "at the movies." In the show, the magician was nailed into a coffin and was able to escape this coffin without disturbing a nail. Tom connects this coffin to his own life as he wishes he could get out of his own coffin without disturbing a nail.
This is a very specific metaphor. What are ten objects that you could use as metaphors for your life? Drawing, using magazines, or finding pictures online, create a collage of pictures that symbolizes your life (feel free to combine images, like Tom might with a coffin and a nail). Write 3-4 sentences about each object to explain your choices.
Questions for Object of Value Papers
Questions
Did you thoroughly describe ONE OBJECT in your paper? It has to be something you can actually touch.
Did you thoroughly discuss each of the five senses? (That means write MORE than one sentence for each… preferably a paragraph)
Did you communicate something sensory that was difficult… but feel like you came out on top/did an adequate job?
Did you use VIVID VERBS, ADJECTIVES, and ADVERBS? Go through your paper: box verbs, underline adjectives once and adverbs twice.
Did you communicate why this object is important to you when it might not seem valuable to other people?
PW: Yay! So happy your Westerns are coming along well. I can't wait to read them. It's so exciting!
