Irony

In "Lamb to the Slaughter," Roald Dahl uses irony to make the story memorable.For example, Mary told the grocer, "Patrick's decided he's tired and doesn't want to eat out tonight" when she went to buy vegetables (p. 321).In this situation, Mary is pretending like her husband is alive, even though she knows he is dead, which makes this verbal irony.This encourages the readers to keep reading to discover if she will get caught. In addition, one of the detectives said, "Probably right under our very noses," as he was eating the leg of lamb (p. 324). This shows that It's dramatic irony because we know that the meat that the police officers are eating was the actual murder weapon.This also shows that this is memorable to the readers because they know she killed her husband but men investigating the murder do not. In conclusion, stories with irony are interesting because they keep the reader reading.

Ambiguity Paragrah

In "Notes from a Bottle," James Stevenson's use of ambiguity engages the reader. For example, “The children as usual are riding their bikes up and down the hall,” all the adults were bundling up for the storm and carrying drinks. This shows that this leads the reader to find out why the children were playing while the water was rising, because it seems illogical.
This also shows that the parents reasons for allowing their children to play is ambiguous because they are playing instead of worrying or saving themselves. In addition, "There has been constant speculation on the cause of the flood," when he said they should have been informed. This shows that this leads the reader to want to figure out what is causing the water to rise. This also shows that this show that the cause of the flood is ambiguous to the people in the story because they only have ideas about the cause, but no one really knows. In conclusion, the usage of ambiguity encourages readers to keep on reading the story to find out what really happens because the author had made the story very suspenseful.
