Identifying irony requires naming the two levels in tension and explaining why the gap matters; an unfortunate coincidence or merely surprising event is not automatically ironic.
Use these fuller examples to see what changes between a recognizable pattern and a finished piece of writing. The examples are original or explicitly illustrative, so they demonstrate structure without inventing real-world evidence.

| Level | What changes | Quality test |
|---|---|---|
| Recognition | Identify the exact structural or meaning relationship in context rather than naming the device from one keyword. | The explanation points to wording, placement, expectation, recurrence, or contrast that makes the label testable. |
| Purposeful use | Choose the device only when it changes emphasis, rhythm, interpretation, audience response, or structure. | The device performs a job that plain wording would not perform as effectively. |
| Analysis | Explain mechanism, local effect, larger significance, and plausible alternatives or limits. | The analysis goes beyond “this creates emphasis” and shows how the effect is produced. |
