Its irony right?

anonymous · Answer

Hi @redskychicken 

First, we need to examine the definition of each word. Can you try and list the definitions?

anonymous · Answer

Well, imagery is words made to put an image in your mind, so discriptive words.
syntax is just proper sentence structure.
and tone is creating a feel for the story, making it seem happy, sad, scary etc.
So the only one left would be irony.

anonymous · Answer

Tone?
Its sound more likely for that to be the answer since its giving you a feeling of loneliness as he has trouble either forgetting her or remembering her.

Choose between tone and irony.

@curlette123 What's your thought? I say Irony.

Lets go for Irony. Because he does seem to find something funny as if its happened before in the past.
