A LONG WAY GONE: LITERARY ELEMENTS ANALYSIS - ISHMAEL BEAH

OTHER ELEMENTS
IRONY
Another important element is irony - when something happens,
or is seen, or is heard that we may know, but the characters do not, or
that appears opposite of what is expected. Some examples of irony include:
1. She keeps asking the boys all kinds of questions about their
father and their eating habits and everything that a grandmother would
worry about. They put her off and refuse to spend the night. Ironically,
she waves them off, as they start off again, with her right hand, a sign
of good luck..........
.......... 14. Their lives are tainted by their experiences, but
Ishmael is confident that nothing could get any worse than it has been
and that makes him smile. He doesn’t know that the war will eventually
come to Freetown.
