For those of you who dont know what a defintion essayis, its basically an essay where you focus on something and attempt to desribe it fully. I picked the word "irony" pleez tell me what u think about it, thnx
Ironic, isn’t it?
Blue, red, green, orange, yellow, purple, brown, and pink. Now, what do these all have in common? Yes, that is correct. They are all…. words!!
What’s the matter? Surprised? Now let’s step back for a moment and analyze a typical reaction to the previous passage. When one normally reads the first sentence written above he/she automatically conjures up the category “colors” as a classification and his/her mind is in a state of fixation in which anything out of the ordinary(in this case anything but the word “colors”) would prove to be an instant breech upon human logic and expectancy. The moment the reader comes upon the category “word” as the answer a sudden sensation of awkwardness swarms his/her mind as if something is simply out of place. Who would have thought that the answer would be something so insignificant like “words” when the obvious and traditional answer would be “colors?” Surprisingly, that awkwardness has a name. Its name is irony.
