Answer

Brief Explanations:

Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something that the characters don't. Tim criticizes Jon for using cliches and not following the assignment well, but then he uses a very cliche "It was a dark and stormy night" opening himself, which the audience can see as ironic and humorous.

Answer:

  1. Tim's opening ignores the writing advice he has just given to Jon.
