The Book of Job is a scripture filled with irony‚ which floods nearly every chapter in the text. The book introduces Job‚ a purely good human being who is often regarded by God as a “blameless and upright man” (Job 1.8). As the book unfolds‚ God and Satan make a bet to determine whether Job will remain loyal to God when catastrophes unfold. Irony manifests itself as dramatic and situational irony throughout the entire text. Dramatic irony plays a fundamental role throughout the Book of Job. Dramatic

From the start the suave‚ whisky-wielding billionaire Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) establishes himself as a strong and likeable character. He made an armoured Humvee journey

So I really did not know what to expect. I did not feel like I would be interested in this book at all‚ considering I have never really been into the fantasy world kind of things‚ plus the fact that I have never been into reading to begin with. I have seen the batman and avengers movies just like everybody else has‚ but I was never

Book Review on The Jungle As in any classic novel‚ there are several themes that contribute to the betterment of the story.

He creates a sort of propaganda for the cause of socialism. The theme is developed subtly. The author
