are you good with irony? are you really sarcastic?
great! you're needed! by me! =)
i handed in an assignment a week ago, and we were supposed to make it "ironic" like voltaires work. so i gave my professor one of the articles i've written before, on my hatred towards sundays, and he gave it back saying there was no irony! he said it was "funny" but funny isn't the same thing as irony.
so i've been changing a lot, bu there's one part i don't know how to mak ironic, would you help me with it?
"There’s nothing good on TV and the only inevitable part of the whole day is that sooner or later some homework is going to have to get done. Sunday is basically just a really long war against the clock. The weekend is over and the five day race to the next weekend starts. It’s a stand off between the present and the future. One part of you can sit and enjoy a quiet afternoon, but another part of you is secretly tormenting, “This is it…five more hours and it’s bed time…five more hours and it’s Monday…five more hours and it’s five more days until fun.”
any ideas?
thank you soo much if you find a way to make it sarcastic or ironic!
happy almost-christmas! :D

Irony is basically bringing two total opposited together that make it hilarious. An example my teacher always uses is getting run over by an ambulance. But I'm sure you know what Irony is.
The talking about rest and the day of rest is good, but maybe you want to bring in how Saturdays are always busy, and we dn't have time to do homework etc, so that means that we are just procrastinating, so sundays are basically just invented to save out butts. I don't know if that makes much sense, but its kind of ironic and it ties into the fact that we basically don't rest on the day of rest.
If I were you, I would put something ironic in at the t.v. part. Because hundreds of years ago they didnt have t.v.s, so you could put in something about how the day of rest used to be_____ without relaxing beside the t.v. which never has anything good on anyways.
I like the war against the clock part, but I'm not sure how to tie that in with anything ironic. You may be able to add something about how we invented clocks to monitor how much time we spend doing a certain thing, or to keep organized, but all we can seem to do on sundays is worry about how we are going to fill up the time -or- completely oposite, how we only have a couple hours until wehave to go to sleep.
You can also talk abouthow much we love sundays as that day to get organized for the rest of the week, but we dread them because they bore us. I don't know if thats funny.
I hope I gave you a few ideas. If you keep thinking for a bit I'm sure you'll be able to re-word somethings. If you still can't think of anything, or you have another paragraph to reword, just let me know. Happy holidays! Love,
