what dsp stood for so he just put around a
- 00:19
spoonful of baking soda into the dough When he walked
- 00:21
away the growing spongy balloon slowly crept out of the
- 00:23
bowl and here's our question Which incident was most important
- 00:28
and leading to the dramatic irony in the passage Well
- 00:34
we know that dramatic irony happens when the significance of
- 00:37
the character's words or actions are known to the audience
- 00:41
but not the character generals of the audience for the
- 00:45
character since we're on the lookout for dramatic irony way
- 00:48
need to ask ourselves is there something in this scene
- 00:51
that we the readers know that jerry doesn't know Definitely
- 00:56
Well remember jerry has no idea that he left a
- 00:58
growing spongy balloon of dough in his way but we
- 01:01
dio way also know that it's gonna be a nightmare
- 01:03
to clean up delicious nightmare So we know where the
- 01:07
dramatic irony in the scene comes from Jerry's unaware his
- 01:10
kitchen is covered in dough But what was the most
- 01:13
important thing that led to that moment Well all of
- 01:15
the options are definitely things that happened and that fun
- 01:19

- 01:22
but figure out which one was the most important we
- 01:24
need to zero in on the error that made the
- 01:26
dough monster reality and hey guess what that's pretty easy
- 01:30
to dio on lee One of the options is truly
- 01:33
an error be jerry didn't know what t s p
- 01:37
meant well That more than anything is the source of
- 01:40
the dramatic irony in his baking lows So that's Our
- 01:44
answer as we can see Dramatic irony is a pretty
- 01:47
good device for writing but not so great for baking
- 01:50
unless you've been wanting to remodel your house and the 00:01:53.013 --> [endTime] ever so chic bread style for you
