Need help with this:
'Much of the writing in Animal Farm uses dramatic or situational irony to make a point. List 3 examples of dramatic or situational irony and then state whata is really meant in the passage or what actually happens in the plot.'
Please help
Thanks

Study these sites carefully.

Then go back through the book to find examples of dramatic or situational irony. We'll be glad to check your answers.
OK, for situational irony, I think one example is when Boxer is being taken away, the animals are told that he was taken to a hospital where he was very well cared for until his last breath, but he was actually taken to his death.
Is that one?
Thanks

Yes. That's a good example.
Thanks! I got the other two done very easily, thanks to those links(:
