Yes, there is an oxymoron in "Esperanza Rising." An example is when Esperanza describes the fire in her throat as she struggles to swallow the bitter taste of the hard, cold unripe apricots. The juxtaposition of fire and cold creates an oxymoron.
No, the phrase "bullet whizzed by the target" is not an oxymoron. An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms, like "jumbo shrimp" or "deafening silence." In this case, the phrase describes the action of a bullet quickly passing by a target and does not contain contradictory terms.
Yes, there is an oxymoron in "Walk Two Moons" when the main character, Sal, describes the phrase "silent noise" while reflecting on the conflicting emotions she feels after her mother leaves.
Yes, there is an oxymoron in "The Cask of Amontillado" when Montresor describes Fortunato as "my friend." This is an oxymoron because Montresor's actions and intentions towards Fortunato are malicious and vengeful, not those of a true friend.
