DeleteOmniscient: being omniscient is when someone within a higher order speaks, and is aware of all. Past present or future the omniscient writer or narrator tells the tale of all three. A omniscient writer is also open to tell the reader what to feel about the situation in a more direct manner.
ReplyDeleteIrony: Personally I think irony is one of the more less used tools in writing in my experience, though readers tend to find it fascinating. Irony is split up into three but ultimately provides a similar outcome. Being Ironic in writing is properly misleading the reader to your true meaning. No matter what form of irony you are using it is somewhat similar in the fact that you are saying or doing something yet mean something else.
