Irony in Literature
There are many sites that have examples of irony in literature. Depending on the age of the audience some of this literature would not be fit for all audiences. One site that I found was talking about students in particular. The grade levels are for students in 7th through 12 th grade. The address to that site is http://www.emints.org/ethemes/resources/S00001864.shtml. Another site that talks alot about irony is http://www.questia.com/library/literature/literary-themes-and-topics/irony.jsp.
