Paradox and Antithesis

That would seem more a subject of a thesis. In any case, the biggest fallacy was that a powerfully intelligent and productive man would have the entirety of his life guided, shaped and controlled by the loss of one sleigh as a child.

I forget who said this, but the phrase "It was painfully Freudian." leaps to mind. People are a bit more complex than that, and the mass of men do not die mouthing the name of the toy they once loved.

One example of a paradox in "Dover Beach" is when the speaker describes the world as being both full of beauty and love, yet also as a place that is full of sadness, chaos, and uncertainty. This contrast creates a sense of tension and contradiction in the poem, emphasizing the complexity of human experience.

In Charles Foster Kane's speech, he uses rhetorical devices such as parallelism, repetition, and imagery to emphasize his message and capture the audience's attention. His speech also includes elements of pathos, logos, and ethos to persuade and connect with his audience emotionally, logically, and ethically.

The estate that Charles Foster Kane builds in "Citizen Kane" is named Xanadu. It is a grand and opulent estate that represents Kane's wealth and power.

The climax occurs once Kumalo returns to Ndotsheni. Even after his son's trial Kumalo has many hurdles to overcome. He wants to restore his town, but that has been made even harder by his son's actions. The climax occurs when Kumalo receives the letter from Jarvis while the Bishop is there. This letter is an act of forgiveness that allows Kumalo to continue the work he is doing.

A man and his son go for a ride to a different city, the car crashes, the father dies and the son is rushed to the emergency room, and the as soon as he reaches the OR, the surgeon says i can't operate on him , he's my son.

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)

In the story "Last Cover," they were trying to find Bandit because he was critical to the success of the mission. Bandit was an expert in navigating the dangerous territory, and without him, they risked getting lost or captured by the enemy.

The falling action is the part of a story, usually found in tragedies and short stories following the climax and showing the effects of the climax. It leads up to the denouement (or catastrophe).

• The paradox of choice: as society advances and technology improves, we are faced with an overwhelming number of choices which can lead to decision paralysis and dissatisfaction.
• The Jevons paradox: as improvements in resource efficiency lead to lower per-unit costs, consumption of that resource may actually increase due to increased demand and overall impact.
• The paradox of automation: as technology advances and tasks become automated, there is a risk of job displacement and potential exacerbation of income inequality.

The paradox in "Death be not proud" serves to challenge the conventional view of death as powerful and fearful. Donne uses paradoxes to highlight the contrast between the physical reality of death and the eternal life of the soul, ultimately asserting that death is not as fearsome as it may seem. By employing paradox, Donne seeks to diminish the power and authority traditionally associated with death.

Paradox in literature serves to highlight contradictions or tensions that deepen the meaning of a text. It can add complexity, provoke deeper thought or emphasize a theme. Its presence in lines can create a sense of ambiguity or challenge conventional thinking.

The poem "The Paradox" by Paul Laurence Dunbar was written in the late 19th century, around the 1890s. Dunbar was known for his poetry that explored themes of race, identity, and perseverance.

When London writes about the paradox of living, he is referring to the conflicting elements that make up human existence. This can include the struggle between life and death, joy and suffering, success and failure, and other dualities that are inherent in the human experience. London explores how these paradoxes shape and define individuals as they navigate through life.

The poet's paradox in the phrase "darkness visible" suggests that the darkness is so intense and vivid that it is almost tangible, leading to a heightened sense of awareness. The paradox underscores the complexity and depth of the darkness being described.

"To see the world in a grain of sand" is an example of paradox.

One paradox in "The Light in the Forest" is the moral ambiguity of characters who are both victims and perpetrators of violence, blurring the lines between right and wrong. Another paradox is the conflict between civilization and nature, as characters struggle to find their place in a society that both accepts and rejects them.

The oxymoron in the title "Cry, the Beloved Country" is the juxtaposition of two contrasting emotions - sadness (cry) and love (beloved), hinting at the complex and heart-wrenching themes explored in the novel.

The quote "Happy the eyes that can close" from "Cry, the Beloved Country" is found on page 193 in most editions of the book.

In this short poem, the speaker begins by declaring that he is moved by nature, and especially by nature's beauty: "My heart leaps up when I behold / A Rainbow in the sky." He goes on to say that he has always felt the impact of nature, even when he was an infant: "So was it when my life began; / So is it now I am a man." The speaker is so certain of his connection with nature that he says it will be constant until he becomes an old man, or else he would rather die: "So be it when I shall grow old, / Or let me die!" In the next line he declares that children are superior to men because of their proximity to nature: "The Child is father of the Man." For this reason, he wishes to devote himself to his childhood self: "And I could wish my days to be / Bound each to each by natural piety."

The paradox in "The Rainbow" by William Wordsworth is that the poet's heart leaps up with joy upon seeing a rainbow, but at the same time, he wishes the rainbow would stay forever. This paradox wrestles with the fleeting nature of beauty and the desire for permanence.

In line four it says "...[things] which i cannot touch because they are too near" also in line 16 it says "rendering death and forever" both of these are paradoxes. plus in line 14 it says "the power of you intese fragility" that's all i got...
