ALLUSION
A reference in one work of literature to a historical event, person, or another work of literature, often used to deepen the meaning of the story.
Look at the title of the story again. What does O. Henry allude to?

Does O. Henry give us any clues?

IRONY
In general, irony is a form of contrasts
3 types: • Dramatic: You know something that the
characters do not
• Situational: Something unexpected happens
• Verbal: What is said is different than what is meant.
What is ironic about this story????

OF COURSE, FOLKS HAVE
IMITATED O. HENRY’S
STORY
That’s ironic!
