“Whenever someone’s in trouble, Captain Adventure comes on the double!” Shouted Captain Adventure from the rooftop, right before he dropped onto the purse-snatcher. As the old woman recovered her purse, she said appreciatively, “Thank you, Captain Adventure! You saved the day.” Captain Adventure posed bravely with his hand on his hips and offered to carry the woman’s groceries upstairs. When she politely accepted, Captain Adventure handcuffed the purse-snatcher to a lamppost and followed the old woman upstairs. As he put the grocery bags onto her counter, Captain Adventure saw something that made him jump onto the kitchen table. He started squealing in a high-pitched voice, “EWWWWW! Icky! Icky! A big bug.” As he did this, he was pointing at an average sized ladybug that was on the floor about ten or fifteen feet away from him. Seeing his terrified reaction to this small bug, the old lady scooped the insect onto her finger and guided it out of the window. Captain Adventure was immediately relieved and said with genuine appreciation, “Thank you. I guess we’re even now.” Which type of irony is used? Why?

He sidestepped around Chuck’s leg saying, “Excuse me, Chuck, my fault entirely.” Harold then continued back to his table and began eating his lunch. Chuck felt offended that Harold had not tripped and fallen on his food, so he marched back to Harold’s table to put him in his place. Dipping his finger into Harold’s school lunch, Chuck said, “What are you eating, puke?” Harold replied nervously, “Yes, well, I think that’s what they serve here. Only the best for us students, right? Anyway, you’re welcome to it.” Chuck sneered and stuck his finger into Harold’s chest, “I don’t want any of your puke, Puke. Next time you fall when I trip you.” He removed his finger from Harold’s chest, grabbed Harold’s cupcake from off of his lunch tray, and walked back to his table. “Good bye, Chuck. It’s always a pleasure seeing you.” He then released a sigh and ate around the fingerprint that Chuck had left in his casserole. Which type of irony is used?
