TO ALL INCOMING GRADE 9 STUDENTS 2008-2009...
GREETINGS!
It's Sunday evening here in Los Angeles right now, 04 July 2008...! I just closed access to the "ironic" blog topic and now I am writing the next one. You have until Saturday, 12 July 2008, to respond to this posting...good luck!
DRAMATIC IRONY - involves the reader (or audience) knowing something about what's happening in the plot, about which the character(s) have no knowledge; it can be used in comedies and tragedies, and it works to engage the reader, as one is drawn into what is happening; the audience may sympathize with the character, who does not know the true situation, or, the reader may see the character as blind or ignorant.
The clues may be rather obvious, but the character may be unwilling to recognize the truth; when the words and actions of the characters of a work of literature have a different meaning for the reader than they do for the characters; this is the result of the reader having a greater knowledge than the characters themselves.

"Focusing on any scene from this story, what good and clear example of a DRAMATIC IRONY can you give based on the given definition on top? Within the entire story, there are a lot of good examples to support this concept of Dramatic Irony, which is why this posting is going to be, as usual, another "first-come, first serve basis only" posting---this means that once an example has already been given, it cannot be used by anyone else. Please make sure to read the postings first before you put your own blog so that you will not end up wasting your time, okay...?!"

The fire that Jack have put into the forest to kill Ralph but actually the smock have helped all the boys on the island. And also this novel is set in the war zone, but actually the war is starting between the boys.
An example of dramatic irony would be at the very end, when a naval officer came to Ralph’s rescue. He asks Ralph about the survivors, and said that they were just like “The Coral Island”. I looked that up, and found out that the book ended with a happy ending, where the main characters do good things, such as getting two people to marry. On the contrary, the kids in Lord of the Flies fight with each other, turned into savages, and some even got killed. In this case, we know something that the officer does not, and that is the fact that it is nothing like The Coral Island.
When the children and the "hunters" killed Simon, no one realized that it's Simon, no one realized that it's not the "beastie". Only Ralph and Piggy know that the "hunters" killed Simon, they didn't killed the "beastie" (when they saw Simon's dead body float on the sea).
Also, in the story, they think that there are "beastie". Simon is the one that realized the "beastie" is only the dead pilot and the fear in their heart.
In the middle of the story when the tribe had been divided into two, Jack plans to steal Piggy's glasses for fire for the feast. At that night, Ralph wasn't prepared for that he doesn't know that Jack's followers will come and steal Piggy's glasses. It is dramatic irony because we knew that Jack was coming to get the glasses but Ralph didn't.
We knows that Jack is active, violence. He hates Rolph being chief. We knows that Rolph possibly will get hurt, but he doesn't knows that. Specially the thunder happen when he and Jack having argument, it tells us, the reader, somethings bad is going to happen.

The fire that Jack have put into the forest to kill Ralph but actually the smock have helped all the boys on the island. And also this novel is set in the war zone, but actually the war is starting between the boys. (Everyone knows that like between boys they wanted to bet he chief, but at last Ralph have been chosen. And not all the idea, or all the thoughts have been the same through all the boys, so they have the wars between themselfs.)
One clear dramatic irony can be found at the part where Ralph is hiding outside the tribe without Jack knowing(after Piggy's death and the capturing of Sam and Eric). He can see the tribe's movement, and he even called the captured Sam and Eric to ask what has happened. This is a dramatic irony because no one other than these 3 characters, and the reader know Ralph's hiding place.
The officer, who appear in the ending, doesn't know what had happened to the kids. We know all the stories and events, and why Ralph was the chief and getting kill. I think this is dramatic irony because we, as reader, and some characters know the thing that the officer doesn't.

A clear dramanic irnoy was shown in the story when the hunters were too playful. Ralph orderded them to keep track on the fire being made, however, people started to hunt and ignore the fact that the fire was out. We knew this is a dramanic irony because Ralph was the first one who found out that the fire is out ,while Jack and his hunters were out hunting. And we knew that Jack would suffer the consequences of being uncareless, while he doesn't notice himself yet.

A dramanic irony was shown in the last chapter, where Piggy told Ralph not to leave him alone. That's a dramanic irony because Piggy pleaded Ralph not to leave him, and that showed that there must be something that would heppen in the last. And the result is, Piggy is stoned to death by Roger after he talked.

This story is jack that he went to the forest and put all the fire to kill Ralph in the forest, but the fire help the boy the live in the island and they have war together also many they are angry together or sad things.
one thing that i remember that when a boy ran to their frineds(the time is at night),
no one can really saw him people were scared group up and dub the boy to death afterwards when the body flow on the water a thounder shine bright the bay i shortly realize that it was their friends.
Jack have been send into the fores to kill Ralph, he set the fire to burn the forest for killing Ralph. The fire that Jack ste down actually help the kids on the island.
For Nice 9c
In chapter eight (Gift for the Darkness), right before Simon loses consciousness, he confronted the beastie and believed that the pig’s head had talked to him. It was calling him a silly boy and said that they were going to have “fun” on the island. This foreshadows Simon’s death in the next chapter, and the readers can probably guess by now. Still, the Simon and the other characters in this story don’t know about thins yet, which makes it an example dramatic irony.

Dramatic Irony:
Jack wants to kill Ralph so he burn the forst, but this actually save them. Because the fire Jack that put make the British ship saw it and then they come and help them. At first Jack didn't think that this actually will save them.

at first the plane crash into the island, the boys was happy that there was no adult, but we know that they will have a problem after they stay there for a while.
In the lord of the flie book the name of the story tell me that they might be some beast appear in the story, but the character dont know this clue (still they find out afterwards that the beast is in their heart). This is a dramatic irony.
In the part when Jack thinks he has the right to be the leader, and the other kids vote Ralph to be the cheif, we know that Jack was quite dissapoited. so we knew that Jack and Ralph would had a fight later on for sure.
And when Jack let the fire die out and Ralph started argue with Jack, we knew for sure they would had a big bloody fight next. Still Ralph quite ignors it and Jack still dosent have enough people on his side to encourage him to fight against Ralph.
Ralph got airplane crash. He stuck in the island. He meets with someone whose name is "Piggy". Piggy sad, these names don’t tell anyone else. When Ralph blows the coral there were children come. They all introduce themselves. When is Piggy turn Ralph tell Piggy name, so everyone laugh.
I think this is dramatic irony because Piggy thinks that Ralph wouldn't say Piggy name, but Ralph say it.

When Piggy would be killed by the big rock that Jack push to let it roll on him. No one was expect that Jack will do this kind of thing. Also Piggy..who know nothing that Jack have a plan to kill him by rocks.

1. One of the first example of irony is – Jack suspicion in killing the pig when the boy first got on the island. This is complete compare with ruthless cheif he becomes. Jack the Schoolboy pause and flounder in cutting open the pig throat because of the enormity of the knife descending and cutting into living body, because of the offensive blood. Although Jack does not kill the pig, the force to kill is still within him. Ironically, only the illusion hold a warring society that assumedly does not forgive killing stops Jack from express that mortal blow. Jack the chief, however, loosens the hold of this society and lets the bloodlust control him to the point of killing others. He does not wince at killing people, much less pigs. He is a killer because nothing stops him.
2. In the story Piggy's eyesight seem to be weak, but actually his insight is strong.
----------------------------------
Golding creates dramatic irony with the officer's rudely ignorance of the boys' cruelty. Perhaps he is at a loss for words, but the officer treats the boys as if they were playing a backyard game. "Jolly good show, like Coral Island," he remarks, followed by the search, "You're all British, aren't you?" . The officer thinks that the boys have formed an rational, but he fails to understand that even the British, "the best at everything," can fall into the trap of brutish war. The officer scrap readers' stereotypes of themselves as superior to war because he shows that war is a virus which can affect everyone.

The navel officer comes to bring the boys back to civilization. However, the island is a opposite image of the society the officer represents.
He is taking them from the island, back to "civilization", but a place also going through war.
