1- A 3-5 sentence summary of the podcast. 2-Two original examples that demonstrate your understanding (and/or relate). 3-Respond to 1 other classmate's post.
"Irony" Irony is when something happens that wasn't expected.The setting has to be right for it to be ironic.Irony is dependent upon the person expectations. For example when Palin video that talks about turkey slottering, when she not too long ago she visited a turkey farm that politician do for thanksgiving.So the irony is that right after she came from the farm she did a video on how bad turkey slottering is.
The irony in this video explains that Palin not only eats meat but if she felt like killing an animal she would go out and do it. Irony is when something happens and it is the opposite of what someone expects.Irony is the point of view that the people see it and there beliefs.
Irony means the opposite of what is expected, or, perhaps more accurately, something that is inconsistent with or incongruous with what is expected. In the video, the incongruity was watching Sarah Palin pardoning a turkey immediately before giving an interview with turkeys being slaughtered in the background. What makes this video ironic depends upon your point of view -- for a hunter the irony would be Palin pardoning a turkey, while for a Democrat it would be Palin being oblivious to the turkey slaughter right after claiming to pardon a turkey -- but in either event there is an incongruity.
The irony that struck me watching this video was that Grammar Girl's podcasts are so tedious that I expected her to be a complete geek, yet she appeared fairly normal in the video.
Another great example of irony is the recent incident involving Susan Boyle's appearance on a British version of "American Idol." Because of her plain looks and lack of romantic involvements, one would expect that she could never be successful on such a show. Yet her singing was so pure and magnificent that she swept the judges away. Boyle showed us all the irony in our glorification of beauty and power -- that none of those things actually create happiness, talent or the ability to meaningfully affect other people's lives.
I learned that there are many different types of irony, but the most common type is when something unexpected happens. In the video, irony was shown when Sarah Palin was expected to pardon a turkey, but instead, showed turkeys being slaughtered in the background of her interview. Something that I found interesting was that setting and expectations play a major role in irony. Irony also depends on the point of view and the belief of the people involved.
Examples of Irony:
1. "Don't yell at me," Jake yelled. (This is ironic because Jake is yelling at someone else, while he does not like being yelled at.)
2. "People should recycle, just like my family," said Jimmy in his new video. In the background, Jimmy's brother is seen throwing away his soda cans and his old school papers into the trash can. (This is ironic because the viewers expected Jimmy's family to recycle, not throw away soda cans and papers.)
I thought that Jacob had a clear understanding of irony. I liked his example of irony and how he explained it. Susan Boyle and her appearance on "Britain's Got Talent" is a great example of irony. I also agree with Richard, when he says, "The setting has to be right for it[irony] to be ironic. Irony is dependent upon the person's expectations." This is true because for something to be ironic, the setting and person's expectations must be set. After reading Jacob's great comment, irony was even more clear to me than it was before!
Reponse: Navpreet's example of Jake yelling "Don't yell at me!" was a great example of irony because of the internal inconsistency. This reminds me of the teachers at my sister's school who cite students for dress code violations while themselves wearing clothing that is inappropriately revealing.
Irony refers to an event that occurs that was completely unexpected. In this Grammar Girl, it is thoroughly explained and many examples were given. Today though, will give a few examples of my own. I was suprised it was in video format as well, which was quite ironic since it usually is a Podcast.
• Nick grabbed the Fire Extinguisher and to his dismay, actually caused the fire to increase.
• When I drank the Water, it caused my mouth to be even more dry.
In response to Navpreet's post, I believe it was quite detailed. The concept was really grasped and they also had great examples. The examples had a bit of humor in them.
Irony is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance between what one says or does and what one means or what is generally understood. Irony is a mode of expression that calls attention to the character's knowledge and that of the audience.
Example of irony is in the video when Palin loves meat and if she wanted it she would go kill a animal for the meat. Irony is when something happens that a reader would not expect.
Response: Richard's response was good it gave a good definition of irony. It also had a few good examples.
Andy's response is good to, I use to believe that Andy was not the smartest kid but now I see that he was just holding back.
From looking at the video, it is evident that irony is an unexpected event.ent forms of irony convey at different moments in any particular siuatiion. Palins form of irony comes to play when she discusses her love for meat. Irony is something that we nessarly dont expect to happen but so happens to in any given situation.
ex. Mark got a D in ms allens class, but its ironic that his dad 30 years ago got a D in his english class
I think that nevprets examples were really desciptive and informative.
I also think that richards examples gave clear and concise information and diffrences about irony.
In this podcast I have learned that there is a lot of irony, and the most common irony is something unexpected irony. Something that I have learned in this podcast is that irony plays a major role in the settings and expectations. And one last thing irony also depends on peoples point of view of what they think.
examples: when I drank water, it wanted me to drink more water.
That girl had a fight.
response: I liked Navepreet singh because he had good examples and has good details in to it. Like his summary which kind of explained that he got the podcast.
This Grammar Girl Episode was about irony. Irony is the notion that something unexpected or contrary has occuring. Usually it (irony) has to be placed within a certain time frame. The example given was Sarah Palin getting a slaughtered turkey for Thanksgiving and then coming out and saying that slaughtering animals was wrong. It is important to distinguish between irony and contradiction. Irony is closer to humor and can be contradiction looked at from the point of view of expecting one to follow through or "practice what they preach." Irony is not necessarily contradction either. It can be and often appears that way but isn't always.
Example of irony: A man says he is for gay rights. The next moment a gay man cuts him off on the freeway and the man replies by calling him a "faggot."
Well this grammar girl is about irony.I learned that there are diffrent types of irony but the common one that everyone knows is when something unexpected happens or something completely the opposite of what you expected to see happens. The example on this grammar girl is when Sarah Palin is doing an interview about pardoning the life of a turkey and in the background there is a turkey getting slaughtered.
-An example of irony is when my aunt kept complaining how hot it was and bought herself a steaming cofee while we drank lemonades.
-Another example I remember is when a guy with a mohawk and pierced face started playing classical music with his guitar, when I thought he was probably going to play some metal.
I really liked Navpreet's example because it was detailed and helped me understand this podcast better.
I also liked Phresh Kid's example because it helped me understand the podcast better with hi examples.
This episode was about irony. Irony(to be exact, situational irony) is when something happens that is opposite of what people expected. Irony depends on the point of view, the beliefs of people are involved, and people's expectations.
*examples 1. In Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, people think that Dorian Gray, who had innocence and beauty on his face, would never commit a crime. However, Dorian Gray brutally murders his friends.
2. Throughtout the Harry Potter series, Severus Snape is depicted as a suspicious and unreliable character. And when Snape kills Dumbledore with the "Avada Kedavra" spell, harry potter and his friends' hostility and bitterness against Snape reach a climax. However, Snape later turns out to be a double spy. He has been contributing to the cause of virtue, even risking his life.
*response: I loved Jacob Artson's example of irony!!! Susan Boyle, she is truly the best example of irony. From her looks, people expected that it would be amusing and fun to watch her. However, she turned out to be a wonderful singer and made everyone awestruck.
In todays podcast I learned is something that might happen unexpectly. Also showing the expression of sarcasm or meaning the opposite.
For example:1 "Christina, you look fat in that clothes." "Thank you, thats really nice of you" Example 2: The kids call the tallest boy of the class shorty.
Response: I think that Peter kind of understood the podcast. I agree that irony could be use to cath attention.
Irony is when something is happened unexpectedly.The setting has to be right and random for it to be ironic.For example when she knew what was happening in the background of her interview on turkey slathering, when she visited a turkey farm. Her actions would make it ironic because you would never think she would show a video like this.
ex. "I'm aware of the irony of appearing on TV in order to decry it, so don't bother pointing that out."
"It is a fitting irony that under Richard Nixon, launder became a dirty word."
Richard chatman would understand this topic .. and courtnii johnson would understand this topic .. they would think it was humor what Palin did and did it right .. good job you guys.
This episode is about irony. Irony is an event that occurs when unexpected. Grammar girl explains irony and how irony dependents on the person's expectations. For example when Sarah Palin gave an interview about pardoing a turkey, in the background a man was slaughtering turkeys. The irony in that is that viewers did not except to watching a man slaughter turkeys.
ex: 1. A police station is robbed. (The irony is that out of all places you wouldn't expected a policestation to be robbed.)
This Podcast was about irony and to demonstrate to the world how pathetic Palin is. Irony happens when the something that was not expected occurs. In the video she is said to be in a turkey farm to pardon a turkey before its cooked. The smart politician later came back from the farm and did a video on how sinister it is to kill turkey. Is that some irony or is Palin just retarded?
Response: Andy you sure are good at explaining Grammar Girl. What would we do without you bro.
This episode we know it was a video but also it showed us what irony really is about.
Irony is dependent upor the person expectations.The term irony is derived from a Greek word that means “one who dissembles.” There are three important kinds of irony, each of which signals a difference between appearance and reality.
Response:
Richard Chatman wrote alot but that is because he knew what the video was talking about and how grammar girl had explain it.
The grammar girl episode was about irony. Irony is when something happens that is not expected. The video of Sarah Palin had some irony in it. For example,Sarah Palin was expected to pardon a turkey, but instead, showed turkeys being slaughtered in the background of her interview.Irony depends on the point of view and the belief of the people involved.
Example # My back was hurting so I put an ice pack on it, but it made my back hurt even more!
Example #2 I washed the stain off my shirt five times and to my amazement, it didn't come off.
Response #1 I though Richard Chatman's post was interesting and I understood what he was talking about.
Response #2 I thought that Andy had great examples. It helped me get an idea for mines.
Ashika Ranasinghe period 5 (best period ever!) Ms.Allen
Irony can be seen in many places. Irony is when the least expected thing happens.What makes something ironic can be for example the turkey story of them saving the turkeys and as she gets interviewed she doesnt realize that a turkey was being slaughtered right behind her creating it irony,who would ever expect that to happen..No one! Grammar girl also uses an example of palin if she wanted meat shell kill an animal.
responce: Richard always does a great job in the grammar girls he provides the examples and information reading his blogs help me out alot.. Jose Valles
Grammar Girl #146 was about Irony. She explains that Irony is when something happens unexpectedly. Irony is an incongruity of what might be expected to happen and what actually happens. Grammar Girl uses Sarah Palin as an example because she went to pardon turkey's while they were slaughtering turkey's right in the behind her.
Example #1: Irony is becoming a Ku Klux Klan Grand Imperial Wizard only to discover you're black And Jewish.
Example #2: Your walking down the street and see a penny, you decide that you will not pick it up as you dont see what good a penny will do, you get on your bus to go home and find your a penny short for the fare.
Response #1: This response is to half the people on here I odnt think people understand how to do grammar girls hardly anyone puts examples or responses what's up with that?
Response #2: Richard needs to come up with his own examples
In this week video on "Irony" is the use of words to convey a meaning that us the opposite of its literal meaning, in other words irony is a situatiuon in which something in which something seems to be one thing (or one way) and is actually another. In this video grammar girl used the example of Sarah Palin proceeded to do an interview with a local TV station while the turkeys were being SLAUGHTERED in the background!! It's no surprise that Palin lacks a sense of irony and no surprise that she okay the background to her interview.It was simply that she pardoned a turkey and then babbled for several minutes to the teevee while a turkey was meeting its maker in the background. This is called irony. Harmless humor is frequently derived from it
Examples:
1. You break a date with your girlfriend so you can go to the ball game with the guys. When you go to the concession stand, you run into your date who is with another guy. This is irony.
2.That most catholic priests swear to a life of celibacy, and preach that homosexuality is evil. Then have sex with choirboys.
Response: saknia examples really do not make any sense at all and her summary of the video, sorry?
is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance between what one says or does and what one means or what is generally understood. The most common irony is an unexpected irony. In the video Palin portrading a turkey and then killing the turkey shows the unsuspected irony.
examples: 1. Stop talking during the test said Jill, Jill is confused and starts asking questions to her pupil.
2. Sarah said stop crying Liz, Sarah begins to cry.
In grammar girl i learned about irony.Irony is an implied discrepancy between what is said and what is meant. In this case grammar girtl used the example of Sarah Palin because of what she said about Turkeys after being in a farm a few days before.Irony also depends of the persons expectations or opinions. This is used frequently by us sometimes and we dont even notice. I enjoyed this podcast and at last I got o see how grammar girl looks.
Ex.1 When my friend says,“How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.
EX.2 Steak is my favorite food but im vegitarian.
RESPONSE 1 Once again I think Richard Chapman did a great job its is nice to read his podcast.
REsponse 2 I think brentons response to the podcast is very short and doesnt show very well that he knows what the podcast is about.
Podcast number 146 is about Irony. Irony only occurs when something is unexpected. The example that Grammar Girl gives us is about Sarah Palin, she gave an interview in front of were turkeys were being slaughter. The irony was that she had gone to pardon a turkey.
Example: #1 Victor’s creation killed him. This is ironic because his own creation killed him and we would expect the creation to be docile with him.
#2 In the play it was ironic that the Witch gave Snow White a green apple.
Response: Navpreet gave great examples of irony, they helped me understand the podcast and create my own examples.
Irony means when something happens that was totally opposite of what was expected to occur. In the Palin video, Grammar Girl used an example of irony because Palin pardons the turkey, but in the background, the video shows the turkey actually being slaughtered.
Examples:
1. "Dude why aren't you going to the gym with me? You know we both need to lose weight and I am actually concerned with my diet." Later that night, the guy goes out to dinner with his friends at In-N-Out and orders two double-doubles with animal-style French fries.
2. The young man set a trap to take revenge on his sister by setting up a paint bucket on top of the door and as soon as it would open, the paint would fall all over his sister. But as soon as he was finished setting up, he left and the door was closed, and he just realized that he had left his cell phone in the bedroom. So he opened the door before even thinking that the paint would fall all over him and was very mad at himself.
Both of these examples consist of irony because the results of the two events happened to be unexpected.
Responses:
1. I liked Jacob's examples about Susan Boyle's appearance on "Britain's Got Talent". I think his example clearly explains what Irony means and how it is used.
This grammar girl was video taped instead of being on audio. It had a clip of Palin talking at a pardoning turkey event, while a turkey was being slaughtered directly behind her. It was ironic since she was at the event to pardon a turkey, but we see the complete opposite happening.
Examples: I remember reading a story about a girl who happened to listen to a conversation between two murderers. They were planning on killing someone in the town. So she notified the sheriff, and everyone she knew. What was ironic was that the death they were planning was actually hers, and that never went through her brain.
Something else that would be ironic would be if someone set a trap for someone else, but ended up "trapping" themselves. Let's say I wanted to play a prank on Bob. I wanted to shock him, so I take out a pen that shocks you (really isn't a pen), and place it next to my notebook. Hoping he would ask for it, since he usually does. As class goes on he asks to borrow a pen and I give him the one I'm actually using, and pick up the one beside my notebook completely forgetting that it is a shocker not an actual pen. SO, instead of him getting shocked I do, but the prank was meant to be on him.
Irony is an incongruity between what might be expected to happen and what actually happens. Setting and expectations are important in irony. Different things are ironic to different people.
This video explains how Sarah Palin goes to pardon a turkey when they in fact end up seeing the slaughtering of one. She goes on to explain how the actually pardoning of the turkey could be ironic to Palin because she is known as an avid hunter.
Examples: 1.) The very religious girl got into a brutal fight today. (This is ironic because you wouldn't expect a religious girl to fight.)
2.) Justin, the worse kid in the class, got an A on his essay when everyone else got an F.
Response: Navpreet understood the video. Her example ("Don't yell at me," Jake yelled. ) was really good.
This grammar girl episode was video taped instead of audio. What was explained in this episode was "Irony." Irony refers to an event that occurs that was completely unexpected. There was a a clip of a Sarah Palin interview at a "Turkey Event," and was ironic because the turkey was being slaughtered directly behind her. This was ironic becuase the event she was to pardon a turkey, but we see the complete opposite happening.
Examples: 1.) Coming from personal experiences, an ironic situation would have to be when I recieved the "Perfect Attendance Award." In my junior year in highschool I recieved this award but was ironic is that I've been absent more than a couple of times. 2.) Another ironic situation is an a bum going to jail, merely just to keep warm and have shelter.
Comments 1.) Andy gives a clear and simple explanation of this Grammar Girl episode, like always. 2.) I find Jackie's examples amusing.
Irony is a very interesting term. irony is when the unexpected happens. IUn other words when something is expected to happen and somewthing totally happens different. The irony in the grammar girl was that the palin was suppose to be pardoning a turkey but what really happened was an interview and there was a pig being slaughtered in the background.
ex.1 Peter was giving people orders but he hates takig orders from other people
Ex. 1 Shut up courtnei screamed.( this is ironic courtnei hates being screamed at)
I like richards and navpreet's explanation they explain it very well.
Irony is when things take the wrong turn you knwo like when something is not planned to go that way. Or it could be used as a type of speech device of some sort.This wordcan also vary depending on the individuals involved in the conflict or situation. Here are my examples.
1.EX.It was very ironic that the guy laughed with no reason.
2.Ex.This conflict is irony upon our cities capital.
I also agree with richard because he said things similar to what I said about it being something that is not expected to happen.
IN GRAMMER GIRL #146 SHE TALKS ABOUT IRONY. IRONY IS WHEN SOMETHIN UNEXPECTED HAPPENS. IN THE VIDEO SARAH PALIN IS PARDONING A TURKEY BUT THE IRONIC THING IS THAT SHE IS DOING THE VIDEO RIGHT IN FRONT OF A TURKEY SLAUGHTERING HOUSE AND SHE TAKES HER KIDS HUNTING. GRAMMER GIRL CHOOSE A PERFECT EXAMPLE TO USE FOR HER IRONY VIDEO.
EXAMPLE: *A DROPOUT MAKING MORE MONEY THAN THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE.
*THE GANGSTER IN THE CLASS GETTING THE HIGHEST SCORE ON A TEST.
RESPONSES: I LIKED CHRISTINA'S EXAMPLES IT SHOWS THAT SHE UNDERSTOOD THE PODCAST.
This Video doesnt only show examples of irony but it also helped me get a better understanding about what irony is. Irony is when the there is an unexpected outcome(when unexpected happen). I think she did know that the turkey was getting slaughtered because most likely there would be noise in the background.
ex: a basketball team is winning by alot of points. When the game i close too ending people start leaving the stadium because they think they know that the team is going to win but, later on they found out that the team that was loosing won.
ex: Palin didn't know it was going to get a bad video, and now she knows that a lot of people are questioning the video and probably don't like her anymore.
"Irony" So irony is when something happens that is unexpected and sort of like a surprise. Ex. 1. After she did extra credit to get a better grade in the class, the teacher still failed her.
2. The girl who tells everybody not to eat meat but she eats steak whenever she can.
Response: Both Ashika and Zaneida's examples helped me to better understand irony and how to do my own examples.
irony the opposite of what is expected or, when the unexpected happens. in this video Palin how is a hunter pardoning a turkey. this is "Irony" because your not expecting a hunter to pardon a turkey. and other Example is in the same video Palin slotted a turkey at the Pardon any ways. again what the opposite of what is expected happens.
i like Jacob Artson post he gave a lot of information on this subject and good examples.
"Irony" This week grammar girl was about irony. Irony is something that happens that wasn't expected to happened. Grammar girl used a perfect example about sarah Palin talking about turkey slottering, Palin was saying it was bad to do it and the irony was that in the background there was a picture of her slottering a turkey her self. this showed irony because nobody expected to see Palin's picture in the background slottering a turkey.
example 1
"Don't smoke its really bad," Sarah said. Sarah was smoking. this is ironic because sarah said not to smoke, and she was the one smoking.
example 2 The whole class told me to do my personal dictionary so we would get pizza. five people didnt do their personal dictionary. This is ironic because everyone asked me to do my homework and the people that always do it didnt.
I think that nathalies examples were good and some of her examples are true.
1. Irony it's Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs. In some cases of irony, setting and expectatons are important. It also depends on the point of view end the believes in the pueople involve.
2. The irony in thise video was that sarah was expected to pardon a turkey but in the background it was showed a turkey being slaughtered
What I think "irony" means is when something unexpected happens. There are many types of irony.Irony is the point of view that the people see it and there beliefs.What I think makes something ironic is the setting. Like to me irony means like...Say someone is talking bad about someone and the next day there talking to them as if they were best friends to mean I find that ironic.For example.....
Example:
#1.I think Alex is so annoying. Hi, Alex I missed you.
#2.I never want to hang out with Jenny again. Want to hang out tomorrow Jenny?
Response:
I agree with Kristy's examples because i do find them ironic.
Irony is when something happens that wasn't expected. I learned that there are many different types of irony, but the most common type is when something unexpected happens.
EX 1. I WASHED MY CLOTHES BUT SOME WERE STILL DIRTY
EX 2. I CLEANED THE DISHES BUT SOME STILL HAD SPOTS, SOP I HAD TO DO THEM OVER
I learned that Irony refers to an event that occurs that was completely unexpected. Irony is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance between what one says or does and what one means or what is generally understood. And one last thing irony also depends on peoples point of view of what they think.
Irony is the exact opposite of what you would think would happen. It is unexpected or unbelievable. In this podcast we hear about Sarah Palin pardoning a turkey but we see a slaughter going on in the background. The place and expectations are the main things that make something ironic.
ex:If you were spending half of your life making fire extinguishers, and then you died in a fire because you didn't have a fire extinguisher.
ex: Another example of irony would be if someone could ride a motor bike but not a bicycle.
I agree with Navpreet because the place and expectation do play a big role in irony.
Richard didn't really give examples but he did explain the video really well.

Because of her plain looks and lack of romantic involvements, one would expect that she could never be successful on such a show. Yet her singing was so pure and magnificent that she swept the judges away. Boyle showed us all the irony in our glorification of beauty and power -- that none of those things actually create happiness, talent or the ability to meaningfully affect other people's lives.

Irony is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance between what one says or does and what one means or what is generally understood. Irony is a mode of expression that calls attention to the character's knowledge and that of the audience.
Example of irony is in the video when Palin loves meat and if she wanted it she would go kill a animal for the meat. Irony is when something happens that a reader would not expect.
Response: Richard's response was good it gave a good definition of irony. It also had a few good examples.
Andy's response is good to, I use to believe that Andy was not the smartest kid but now I see that he was just holding back.
Irony means something that happens unexpected. The theme has to good for the irony.
EX: "Shoot The Ball B Wright". one of his teammates screamed
Rich you should of comment on the "Irony" even tho you didnt have nothing to comment on.

From looking at the video, it is evident that irony is an unexpected event.ent forms of irony convey at different moments in any particular siuatiion. Palins form of irony comes to play when she discusses her love for meat. Irony is something that we nessarly dont expect to happen but so happens to in any given situation.
ex.
Mark got a D in ms allens class, but its ironic that his dad 30 years ago got a D in his english class
I think that nevprets examples were really desciptive and informative.
I also think that richards examples gave clear and concise information and diffrences about irony.

Not.....
In this podcast I have learned that there is a lot of irony, and the most common irony is something unexpected irony. Something that I have learned in this podcast is that irony plays a major role in the settings and expectations. And one last thing irony also depends on peoples point of view of what they think.
examples:
when I drank water, it wanted me to drink more water.
That girl had a fight.
response:
I liked Navepreet singh because he had good examples and has good details in to it. Like his summary which kind of explained that he got the podcast.
This Grammar Girl Episode was about irony. Irony is the notion that something unexpected or contrary has occuring. Usually it (irony) has to be placed within a certain time frame. The example given was Sarah Palin getting a slaughtered turkey for Thanksgiving and then coming out and saying that slaughtering animals was wrong. It is important to distinguish between irony and contradiction. Irony is closer to humor and can be contradiction looked at from the point of view of expecting one to follow through or "practice what they preach." Irony is not necessarily contradction either. It can be and often appears that way but isn't always.
Example of irony: A man says he is for gay rights. The next moment a gay man cuts him off on the freeway and the man replies by calling him a "faggot."
Richard Chatman's decription was clear and concise.
Well this grammar girl is about irony.I learned that there are diffrent types of irony but the common one that everyone knows is when something unexpected happens or something completely the opposite of what you expected to see happens. The example on this grammar girl is when Sarah Palin is doing an interview about pardoning the life of a turkey and in the background there is a turkey getting slaughtered.
-An example of irony is when my aunt kept complaining how hot it was and bought herself a steaming cofee while we drank lemonades.
-Another example I remember is when a guy with a mohawk and pierced face started playing classical music with his guitar, when I thought he was probably going to play some metal.
I really liked Navpreet's example because it was detailed and helped me understand this podcast better.
I also liked Phresh Kid's example because it helped me understand the podcast better with hi examples.

This episode was about irony. Irony(to be exact, situational irony) is when something happens that is opposite of what people expected. Irony depends on the point of view, the beliefs of people are involved, and people's expectations.
*examples
1. In Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, people think that Dorian Gray, who had innocence and beauty on his face, would never commit a crime. However, Dorian Gray brutally murders his friends.
2. Throughtout the Harry Potter series, Severus Snape is depicted as a suspicious and unreliable character. And when Snape kills Dumbledore with the "Avada Kedavra" spell, harry potter and his friends' hostility and bitterness against Snape reach a climax. However, Snape later turns out to be a double spy. He has been contributing to the cause of virtue, even risking his life.
*response: I loved Jacob Artson's example of irony!!! Susan Boyle, she is truly the best example of irony. From her looks, people expected that it would be amusing and fun to watch her. However, she turned out to be a wonderful singer and made everyone awestruck.

In todays podcast I learned is something that might happen unexpectly. Also showing the expression of sarcasm or meaning the opposite.
For example:1
"Christina, you look fat in that clothes." "Thank you, thats really nice of you"
Example 2:
The kids call the tallest boy of the class shorty.
Response: I think that Peter kind of understood the podcast. I agree that irony could be use to cath attention.

"IRONY"
Irony is when something is happened unexpectedly.The setting has to be right and random for it to be ironic.For example when she knew what was happening in the background of her interview on turkey slathering, when she visited a turkey farm. Her actions would make it ironic because you would never think she would show a video like this.
ex.
"I'm aware of the irony of appearing on TV in order to decry it, so don't bother pointing that out."
"It is a fitting irony that under Richard Nixon, launder became a dirty word."
Richard chatman would understand this topic .. and courtnii johnson would understand this topic .. they would think it was humor what Palin did and did it right .. good job you guys.
This episode is about irony. Irony is an event that occurs when unexpected. Grammar girl explains irony and how irony dependents on the person's expectations. For example when Sarah Palin gave an interview about pardoing a turkey, in the background a man was slaughtering turkeys. The irony in that is that viewers did not except to watching a man slaughter turkeys.
ex:
1. A police station is robbed.
(The irony is that out of all places you wouldn't expected a policestation to be robbed.)

This Podcast was about irony and to demonstrate to the world how pathetic Palin is. Irony happens when the something that was not expected occurs. In the video she is said to be in a turkey farm to pardon a turkey before its cooked. The smart politician later came back from the farm and did a video on how sinister it is to kill turkey. Is that some irony or is Palin just retarded?
Response: Andy you sure are good at explaining Grammar Girl. What would we do without you bro.
IRONY...
This episode we know it was a video but also it showed us what irony really is about.
Irony is dependent upor the person expectations.The term irony is derived from a Greek word that means “one who dissembles.” There are three important kinds of irony, each of which signals a difference between appearance and reality.
Response:
Richard Chatman wrote alot but that is because he knew what the video was talking about and how grammar girl had explain it.
Period 3
The grammar girl episode was about irony. Irony is when something happens that is not expected. The video of Sarah Palin had some irony in it. For example,Sarah Palin was expected to pardon a turkey, but instead, showed turkeys being slaughtered in the background of her interview.Irony depends on the point of view and the belief of the people involved.

My back was hurting so I put an ice pack on it, but it made my back hurt even more!
Example #2
I washed the stain off my shirt five times and to my amazement, it didn't come off.

Irony can be seen in many places. Irony is when the least expected thing happens.What makes something ironic can be for example the turkey story of them saving the turkeys and as she gets interviewed she doesnt realize that a turkey was being slaughtered right behind her creating it irony,who would ever expect that to happen..No one!
Grammar girl also uses an example of palin if she wanted meat shell kill an animal.
responce: Richard always does a great job in the grammar girls he provides the examples and information reading his blogs help me out alot..
Jose Valles
Grammar Girl #146 was about Irony. She explains that Irony is when something happens unexpectedly. Irony is an incongruity of what might be expected to happen and what actually happens. Grammar Girl uses Sarah Palin as an example because she went to pardon turkey's while they were slaughtering turkey's right in the behind her.
Example #1: Irony is becoming a Ku Klux Klan Grand Imperial Wizard only to discover you're black And Jewish.
Example #2: Your walking down the street and see a penny, you decide that you will not pick it up as you dont see what good a penny will do, you get on your bus to go home and find your a penny short for the fare.
Response #1: This response is to half the people on here I odnt think people understand how to do grammar girls hardly anyone puts examples or responses what's up with that?
Response #2: Richard needs to come up with his own examples

In this week video on "Irony" is the use of words to convey a meaning that us the opposite of its literal meaning, in other words irony is a situatiuon in which something in which something seems to be one thing (or one way) and is actually another. In this video grammar girl used the example of Sarah Palin proceeded to do an interview with a local TV station while the turkeys were being SLAUGHTERED in the background!! It's no surprise that Palin lacks a sense of irony and no surprise that she okay the background to her interview.It was simply that she pardoned a turkey and then babbled for several minutes to the teevee while a turkey was meeting its maker in the background. This is called irony. Harmless humor is frequently derived from it
Examples:
1. You break a date with your girlfriend so you can go to the ball game with the guys. When you go to the concession stand, you run into your date who is with another guy. This is irony.
2.That most catholic priests swear to a life of celibacy, and preach that homosexuality is evil.
Then have sex with choirboys.

saknia examples really do not make any sense at all and her summary of the video, sorry?

Irony
is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance between what one says or does and what one means or what is generally understood. The most common irony is an unexpected irony. In the video Palin portrading a turkey and then killing the turkey shows the unsuspected irony.
examples:
1. Stop talking during the test said Jill, Jill is confused and starts asking questions to her pupil.
2. Sarah said stop crying Liz, Sarah begins to cry.
In grammar girl i learned about irony.Irony is an implied discrepancy between what is said and what is meant. In this case grammar girtl used the example of Sarah Palin because of what she said about Turkeys after being in a farm a few days before.Irony also depends of the persons expectations or opinions. This is used frequently by us sometimes and we dont even notice. I enjoyed this podcast and at last I got o see how grammar girl looks.
Ex.1
When my friend says,“How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.
EX.2
Steak is my favorite food but im vegitarian.

Podcast number 146 is about Irony. Irony only occurs when something is unexpected. The example that Grammar Girl gives us is about Sarah Palin, she gave an interview in front of were turkeys were being slaughter. The irony was that she had gone to pardon a turkey.
Example:
#1 Victor’s creation killed him.
This is ironic because his own creation killed him and we would expect the creation to be docile with him.
#2 In the play it was ironic that the Witch gave Snow White a green apple.
Response: Navpreet gave great examples of irony, they helped me understand the podcast and create my own examples.

Irony
Irony means when something happens that was totally opposite of what was expected to occur. In the Palin video, Grammar Girl used an example of irony because Palin pardons the turkey, but in the background, the video shows the turkey actually being slaughtered.
Examples:
1. "Dude why aren't you going to the gym with me? You know we both need to lose weight and I am actually concerned with my diet." Later that night, the guy goes out to dinner with his friends at In-N-Out and orders two double-doubles with animal-style French fries.
2. The young man set a trap to take revenge on his sister by setting up a paint bucket on top of the door and as soon as it would open, the paint would fall all over his sister. But as soon as he was finished setting up, he left and the door was closed, and he just realized that he had left his cell phone in the bedroom. So he opened the door before even thinking that the paint would fall all over him and was very mad at himself.
Both of these examples consist of irony because the results of the two events happened to be unexpected.
Responses:
1. I liked Jacob's examples about Susan Boyle's appearance on "Britain's Got Talent". I think his example clearly explains what Irony means and how it is used.

This grammar girl was video taped instead of being on audio. It had a clip of Palin talking at a pardoning turkey event, while a turkey was being slaughtered directly behind her. It was ironic since she was at the event to pardon a turkey, but we see the complete opposite happening.
Examples:
I remember reading a story about a girl who happened to listen to a conversation between two murderers. They were planning on killing someone in the town. So she notified the sheriff, and everyone she knew. What was ironic was that the death they were planning was actually hers, and that never went through her brain.
Something else that would be ironic would be if someone set a trap for someone else, but ended up "trapping" themselves. Let's say I wanted to play a prank on Bob. I wanted to shock him, so I take out a pen that shocks you (really isn't a pen), and place it next to my notebook. Hoping he would ask for it, since he usually does. As class goes on he asks to borrow a pen and I give him the one I'm actually using, and pick up the one beside my notebook completely forgetting that it is a shocker not an actual pen. SO, instead of him getting shocked I do, but the prank was meant to be on him.
Irony is an incongruity between what might be expected to happen and what actually happens. Setting and expectations are important in irony. Different things are ironic to different people.
This video explains how Sarah Palin goes to pardon a turkey when they in fact end up seeing the slaughtering of one. She goes on to explain how the actually pardoning of the turkey could be ironic to Palin because she is known as an avid hunter.
Examples:
1.) The very religious girl got into a brutal fight today. (This is ironic because you wouldn't expect a religious girl to fight.)
2.) Justin, the worse kid in the class, got an A on his essay when everyone else got an F.

This grammar girl episode was video taped instead of audio. What was explained in this episode was "Irony." Irony refers to an event that occurs that was completely unexpected. There was a a clip of a Sarah Palin interview at a "Turkey Event," and was ironic because the turkey was being slaughtered directly behind her. This was ironic becuase the event she was to pardon a turkey, but we see the complete opposite happening.
Examples:
1.) Coming from personal experiences, an ironic situation would have to be when I recieved the "Perfect Attendance Award." In my junior year in highschool I recieved this award but was ironic is that I've been absent more than a couple of times.
2.) Another ironic situation is an a bum going to jail, merely just to keep warm and have shelter.
Comments
1.) Andy gives a clear and simple explanation of this Grammar Girl episode, like always.
2.) I find Jackie's examples amusing.

irony is a negative thing. It means something has happened that you did not expect to happen.
Irony
Irony is a very interesting term. irony is when the unexpected happens. IUn other words when something is expected to happen and somewthing totally happens different. The irony in the grammar girl was that the palin was suppose to be pardoning a turkey but what really happened was an interview and there was a pig being slaughtered in the background.
ex.1
Peter was giving people orders but he hates takig orders from other people
Ex. 1
Shut up courtnei screamed.( this is ironic courtnei hates being screamed at)
I like richards and navpreet's explanation they explain it very well.
Paul Lopez
Irony is when something happends that you didnt think would happend.But it depends on the people that are involved.
example- a person that makes guns for a living then he dies by a gun.
The irony was that he made gun for a living and then out of nowere he dies by a gun.

Irony is when things take the wrong turn you knwo like when something is not planned to go that way. Or it could be used as a type of speech device of some sort.This wordcan also vary depending on the individuals involved in the conflict or situation.
Here are my examples.
1.EX.It was very ironic that the guy laughed with no reason.
2.Ex.This conflict is irony upon our cities capital.
I also agree with richard because he said things similar to what I said about it being something that is not expected to happen.
IN GRAMMER GIRL #146 SHE TALKS ABOUT IRONY. IRONY IS WHEN SOMETHIN UNEXPECTED HAPPENS. IN THE VIDEO SARAH PALIN IS PARDONING A TURKEY BUT THE IRONIC THING IS THAT SHE IS DOING THE VIDEO RIGHT IN FRONT OF A TURKEY SLAUGHTERING HOUSE AND SHE TAKES HER KIDS HUNTING. GRAMMER GIRL CHOOSE A PERFECT EXAMPLE TO USE FOR HER IRONY VIDEO.
EXAMPLE:
*A DROPOUT MAKING MORE MONEY THAN THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE.
*THE GANGSTER IN THE CLASS GETTING THE HIGHEST SCORE ON A TEST.

This Video doesnt only show examples of irony but it also helped me get a better understanding about what irony is. Irony is when the there is an unexpected outcome(when unexpected happen). I think she did know that the turkey was getting slaughtered because most likely there would be noise in the background.
ex:
a basketball team is winning by alot of points. When the game i close too ending people start leaving the stadium because they think they know that the team is going to win but, later on they found out that the team that was loosing won.
ex: Palin didn't know it was going to get a bad video, and now she knows that a lot of people are questioning the video and probably don't like her anymore.
Jose's and Guillermo's examples are good.
"Irony"
So irony is when something happens that is unexpected and sort of like a surprise.
Ex.
1. After she did extra credit to get a better grade in the class, the teacher still failed her.
2. The girl who tells everybody not to eat meat but she eats steak whenever she can.

the opposite of what is expected or, when the unexpected happens. in this video Palin how is a hunter pardoning a turkey. this is "Irony" because your not expecting a hunter to pardon a turkey. and other Example is in the same video Palin slotted a turkey at the Pardon any ways. again what the opposite of what is expected happens.

"Irony"
This week grammar girl was about irony. Irony is something that happens that wasn't expected to happened. Grammar girl used a perfect example about sarah Palin talking about turkey slottering, Palin was saying it was bad to do it and the irony was that in the background there was a picture of her slottering a turkey her self. this showed irony because nobody expected to see Palin's picture in the background slottering a turkey.
example 1
"Don't smoke its really bad," Sarah said. Sarah was smoking.
this is ironic because sarah said not to smoke, and she was the one smoking.
example 2
The whole class told me to do my personal dictionary so we would get pizza. five people didnt do their personal dictionary. This is ironic because everyone asked me to do my homework and the people that always do it didnt.
I think that nathalies examples were good and some of her examples are true.
In Gammar Girl 146, We go over what is "Irony". Irony is when we think to expect something thats not unexpect.
Ex: Danny got his girlfriend her favor favor dink, but grape was not her favorite.

1. Irony it's Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs. In some cases of irony, setting and expectatons are important. It also depends on the point of view end the believes in the pueople involve.
2. The irony in thise video was that sarah was expected to pardon a turkey but in the background it was showed a turkey being slaughtered
I intend to live forever, or die trying.
3. I agree with everybody.
What I think "irony" means is when something unexpected happens. There are many types of irony.Irony is the point of view that the people see it and there beliefs.What I think makes something ironic is the setting. Like to me irony means like...Say someone is talking bad about someone and the next day there talking to them as if they were best friends to mean I find that ironic.For example.....
Example:
#1.I think Alex is so annoying.
Hi, Alex I missed you.
#2.I never want to hang out with Jenny again.
Want to hang out tomorrow Jenny?
Response:
I agree with Kristy's examples because i do find them ironic.
Irony is when something happens that wasn't expected. I learned that there are many different types of irony, but the most common type is when something unexpected happens.
EX 1. I WASHED MY CLOTHES BUT SOME WERE STILL DIRTY
EX 2. I CLEANED THE DISHES BUT SOME STILL HAD SPOTS, SOP I HAD TO DO THEM OVER
- Ryan Harper
I learned that Irony refers to an event that occurs that was completely unexpected. Irony is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance between what one says or does and what one means or what is generally understood. And one last thing irony also depends on peoples point of view of what they think.
Ex.1The biggest little city ever.
Richard chatman has a good example of irony.
-Chris Gallardo

Irony is the exact opposite of what you would think would happen. It is unexpected or unbelievable. In this podcast we hear about Sarah Palin pardoning a turkey but we see a slaughter going on in the background.
The place and expectations are the main things that make something ironic.
ex:If you were spending half of your life making fire extinguishers, and then you died in a fire because you didn't have a fire extinguisher.
ex: Another example of irony would be if someone could ride a motor bike but not a bicycle.
I agree with Navpreet because the place and expectation do play a big role in irony.
Richard didn't really give examples but he did explain the video really well.
