What are some paradoxes?

Answer 1

Paradox of The Court: A law student agrees to pay his teacher after winning his first case. The teacher then sues the student (who has not yet won a case) for payment.

(This is not as paradoxical as it appears. The teacher's suit must fail because the student has not won a case. However, if the teacher sues the student a second time, the teacher should succeed, since the student has now won his first case. An astute judge in the first case would award costs against the teacher in the first case equal to the amount of the teacher's fee, thus giving the student the funds to pay the teacher off)

Answer 2

analogy is when 2 things are compared without the things used in similes and metaphors.

-such as the heart and a pump

-In Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger the taxi driver is to the fishes and Holden is to the ducks, because like Fishes just deal with winter and desert into the pond so does the taxi driver by going on about his life and not caring about the world that is wrong around him, while Holden on the other hand is upset with everything in the world, like the ducks are with the pond in the winter.

Answer 3

Some classic paradoxes include the "liar paradox" where someone says "I always lie," creating a contradiction, and the "grandfather paradox" in time travel where someone goes back in time and prevents their grandfather from meeting their grandmother, causing a paradox regarding their own existence.

Answer 4

I always lie... this doesnt make sense because if you always lie you would lie about lying. or DEEP down, he's really SHALLOW. ----- also "It was the best of time. It was the worst of times."
