which best describes the use of irony in this excerpt

I think the best way to describe irony is to see it as a type of punctuation. If you don’t think about it, it doesn’t stick.

Although irony is subjective, it is also subjective. That is to say, you can see a lot of different types of irony in the same sentence.

This is why irony is important to understand. It is the type of humor that is used to emphasize a point rather than emphasize a pointlessness. For instance, your average irony is about how you have to take off your shoes on the street, but your socks are on your feet.

This is why we use irony in a sentence like, “I can only imagine what the people would think if I would not have these shoes on.” Or, “I can only imagine what the people would think if I would not have these socks on,” or even, “I can only imagine what the people would think if I would not have these shoes on.

In the same vein, we use irony to make a point of how much we can take for granted, but never take seriously. For example, I’m not a parent, so I don’t know how this works, or whether you can take it for granted. But even if you aren’t a parent, I have no idea, so I have no point to make. Because even the most fundamental things we take for granted are far from trivial.

Sometimes we take what we think we are getting for granted, but we never realize how much we are actually taking for granted. We take for granted that we can take over the world, or that the Earth is flat, or that the Earth is the center of the Universe. We take for granted that we can have all the stuff we want, and we never realize how little we actually have.

We take for granted that we have the power to change the world, and that we have all the stuff we want.

You might be like, “Hey that’s nice, and I wanna be the one that changes the world,” but in reality, you just wanna be like, “Hey, what’s the problem? I’m the one that changes the world.

I’m a huge fan of irony, so I found this quote from a great essay by Bill Bryson very helpful.

You see, we don’t realize how little we have until we’re in a situation where we don’t have anything. We all have the power to change the world, but we don’t realize how little we actually have. We have a lot of stuff, but we don’t realize how little we actually have.
