The Berlin Wall was a concrete and stone enormous barrier that not only divided Berlin, and post-war Germany, into two, East and West, physically, but it also became the representation of the great division that was taking place between the Western World, led by the U.S and the Soviet world, led by the Soviet Union and Communism. It also became the symbol of a conflict that had initiated in the Second World War and that was fast escalating between the two super power of the time, the United States and the USSR. It also became the symbol of the struggle between two ideologies, democracy and communism. While the Wall was up, the difference between the development of the Eastern and Western sides of Berlin was enourmous. In the East, people were struggling with restriction and the ruthlessness of the USSR, while in the West, the city and its people began to see development and economical, political and social advancement and liberty.

The poem "The Cloud" by Percy Bysshe Shelley employs an extended metaphor, as it compares a cloud to life throughout the whole poem.
The cloud is meant to stand for the cycle of nature, or the unending cycle of life. Through the many cycles and transformations that the cloud endures, Shelley wants to represent the never ending cycle of birth, death and rebirth that all beings on Earth go through. The poem, therefore, focuses on the mutability of nature as the only constant in the physical world. Moreover, this allows the author to also employ the cloud as a symbol of the many changes that humans undergo throughout their lives.
The phrases or sentences in the above excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" which demonstrates the use of irony is:
“The television screens showed, from left to right, the stretch of desert which was the rocket target,”
“Ninety minutes before H-hour the radios announced that the rockets were ready, that the observation ships had backed away to what was thought to be a safe distance,”
Kurt Vonnegut's short story "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" is an example of postmodernism because of the use of irony on a serious topic.
He expresses his feelings about the war with his personal experience. His reaction to the war, bombings and the ills of scientific advancement brought distress in his life. He accepted the deaths as the result of the war in a very casual manner. Throughout the stories, he uses irony and sarcasm to bring the effects of the war in a different look. Using irony and sarcasm to describe serious topics like war and destruction is one of the characteristics of postmodern literature.
