Irony, Allusion, Symbolism

Irony is the use of words to expect one thing, then the opposite occurs.An example from Lord of the Flies is Piggy is smart and tries to help, but he doesn't help.Allusion is an indirect reference to an object. An example of this is the beastie one kid describes. The beastie could represent how the whole group of boys may have a rough start that scares everyone.Now, symbolism is an object that represents an idea. Symbolism in Lord of the Flies can be the fire. It represents life on the island for the boys so they can be rescued
