The irony the author A.C.H Smith values as a literary device in Labyrinth is using it to create suspense. To start, there are examples of verbal irony. Verbal irony is a figure of speech in which the speaker says the exact opposite of what she or he means. Here are some examples of verbal irony. To begin with, Hoggle says to Jareth “I am taking her to the beginning of the Labyrinth.” When really he wasn’t. Another example of verbal irony is when Sarah says “The maze is a piece of cake.” But really the labyrinth was really hard for her. Lastly, when Hoggle says “I’m not interested in friends,” he actually did want friends. This is creating suspense because we are curious on what will happen next and we want to see what will eventually happen. Another way the author A.C.H Smith uses irony to establish surprise is from dramatic irony. Dramatic irony

In the short story “Charles,” foreshadowing helps us realize that Charles is actually Laurie. For instance, everyday when Laurie came home from school he always had a terrible story to tell his parents about Charles. When Laurie tells his parents Charles hit the teacher his mother is concerned and asks for the child's name. In the text it states “Laurie thought. ‘It was Charles.”’ As you can see Laurie hesitates to tell his mom. During the time of him hesitating, he is making up a boy named Charles, who isn't real at all. He makes up the name Charles so he doesn't get punished for all the troubled things he has done at school. Another example of foreshadowing was when Laurie told his parents Charles said a bad word

“Good fiction creates empathy. A novel takes you somewhere and asks you to look through the eyes of another person, to live another life”. (Barbara Kingsolver) Fiction is an imaginary thing or event, postulated for the purposes of argument or explanation as defined by Dictionary.com. There are many literary devices that writers incorporate into their works. The main reason literary devices are used is to connect with the reader. When we read, we want to truly enjoy what is written we need to become a part of the story. And literary devices help us to better see and feel the storyline.

One example of foreshadowing in Of Mice and Men is when George told Lennie where to meet him. George said, “Lennie- if you jus’ happen to get in trouble lie you always done before, I want you to come right here an’ hide in the brush.” George was trying to make sure that Lennie knew where to go if he got in trouble like he had in Weed.

Suspense is an integral part of storytelling. Without suspense, certain stories would not create their intended effect. Edgar Allen Poe wrote many books and poems, which were all under a gothic theme. His writings were very dark and mysterious, and they all contained suspense. Poe’s novel “The Tell-Tale Heart” and his poem “The Raven” contain suspense, which is created through point-of-view, irony, and diction.

Picked off one by one, ten indians soon became none. Ten people traveled to a mysterious island. None of them thought much of the invite and didn't expect the trip to take a wicked turn. The number of characters left on the island decreased as they were murdered one by one. They soon would figure out the murders were based off of the poem, "Ten Little Indians." The characters started going mad as they realized none of them would leave the island and that their deaths were drawing near. They realized that the murderer was one of them. The mystery of what character was the murderer is not revealed until the very end of the story. In Agatha Christie's, And Then There Were None, Agatha steps out of normality and uses forms of modernism. Her new way of writing draws readers in and keeps them questioning every character. In Agatha's book ten very different characters are invited to Indian Island. Little do the readers know that these characters all have one thing in common. Agatha shows off her new way of writing through inner monologues, themes of inner animals, and unreliable narrators.
