I'm wondering if there is a English writing technique or style I can use to show that the result that appeared is contrary to the expectation of the first-person narrator? (I'm not using garden-sentences for this) Example Context: > After going through a Life-and-Death Trial, First-person Narrator has following conversation with their teacher. > > Teacher: "I put you through a Trial to awaken your talent." > > First-person Narrator: "That's absurd." > > Teacher: "In general, most people are unable to awaken their talent until they face a life and death situation. In fact, its a lack of encountering life and death situations that prevent most people from awakening their talent." > > First-person Narrator: "Then, for that reason you made me take the trial?" > > Narrator's Inner thoughts: insert sentence that shows the result that appeared (Teacher's "In general..." response) is contrary to the expectation of the narrator
