Situational Irony: Page 20

Charlie assumes Patrick and Sam are dating when in reality they're siblings.

" I looked at them, and they looked really happy together. A good kind of happy. And even though I thought Sam was very pretty and nice, and she was the first girl I ever wanted to ask on a date someday when I can drive, I did not mind that she had a boyfriend, especially if he was a good guy like Patrick."
"How long have you been 'going out'?" I asked. Then they started laughing. Really laughing hard.
"What's so funny?" I said.
"We're brother and sister," Patrick said still laughing"

Dramatic Irony

Aunt Helen is Charlie's favorite person in the whole world, and yet, she is the one who sexually abused him.

“My Aunt Helen was my favorite person in the whole world.”
