While an <u>oxymoron</u> is a figure of speech where two opposing words in meanings are used together intentionally for creating a special effect, an <u>euphemism</u> is concerned with the use of a word or phrase that replaces another with a less offensive or vulgar meaning.
<u>Examples of oxymorons are</u>:
- 2. Ted thought the game was <u>bittersweet</u> because his team won, but he was injured. <em>(The game was pleasant because of the result, but it included a bit of suffering since Ted ended up injured)</em>
- 4. After his ordeal, Richard looked like a member of the <u>living dead</u>. <em>(Richard seemed to be alive but with a dead soul)</em>
<u>Examples of euphenisms are</u>:
- 1.Nick was <u>stretching the truth</u> when he said that he was working on his second novel. <em>(Nick was saying something that wasn't exactly true...)</em>
- 3.The horse was <u>put to sleep</u> after injuring its leg at the derby. <em>(The horse was sacrified...)</em>
Organization is such an important element of good writing is because if there wasn't organization, you wouldn't understand what is given before you. For example, a lot of things are written in chronological order to give it organization. People do this so they can follow along instead of jumping from 1952 to 1861 back to 2004. So with organization comes neatness and a better way of presenting something.
