Which of these is easier to write an essay about?
1. What effect does it have on you?
2. How does it contribute to the plot?
3. Why did the author utilize this element in this passage?
Alliteration ( repeating beginning letters in a sentence, ex. she sells sea shells at the sea shore)
Oxymoron ( two contrasting words in a sentence, ex. a horribly perfect day)
Sarcasm (humor directed against someone) come on you know what sarcasm means!
Irony (something other than the literal meaning, ex. he brought chopsticks to an american restaruant while she brought a fork to a chinese restaraunt)
Understatement (being described as less than it is) sorry i cant think of an example

Good luck!
PS: Irony is the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning. A better example would be like….
John: I fell down the steps and broke my leg
Mary: Nice!
It wasn’t actually nice that John broke his leg, so it’s ironic that Mary said it was… It’s a difficult concept to grasp and explain. It’s kiiinda like sarcasm but not quite… So you’re better off not picking that one. lol.
If I were you, I wiuld choose: Sarcasm. But what if the writer is not saterical.
Irony is not easy to get. It’s one of the far-fetched figures.
The others are too limited.
I hope I have been of any use.
