Answer 1

Irony - A situation where something happens opposite to how you would expect it to happen, or something is described in a way that is unorthodox. For example: Bob Short was a very tall man.

Sarcasm - A manner of speaking or writing where you say the opposite of what you really mean in order to make a point. Example: "Mom, I am ready to get a driver's license" Mom: (rolls eyes) "yeah, you're TOTALLY responsible."

Satire - Making fun of authority figures, institutions, or societal traits by portraying them in an unlikeable character

literary allusion - making a reference to another piece of literature by quoting an exact line or mentioning a character's name
