Which excerpt from the speech is an<br> example of antithesis?
adoni [48]

Antithesis is the figure of speech that allows the exposition of two opposing ideas in the same sentence.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The antithesis allows two opposing ideas to be presented together in a harmonious way.
  • This allows for an extension of a concept, or even to show confusion and uncertainty.

As with all figures of speech, antithesis is used to make texts deeper and more meaningful. Through figurative language.

An example of antithesis can be seen in the sentence:

"Living and dying are the most natural things in the world."

You have not shown the text this question refers to. This prevents me from providing a specific answer, but I hope the information above can help you.

The tone in “Barbara Frietchie” is one of admiration. The speaker clearly admires the stand that Frietchie takes when supporting the Union in front of the Confederate troops. Words such as bravest, loyal, and honor show that the speaker admires Barbara Frietchie’s courage. The poem also has a patriotic tone. This is evident when Frietchie tells the Confederate commander to shoot at her and not at the flag. Frietchie is proud of her beliefs and cannot bear to see the commander disrespect the Union flag. That is the word for word so you will need to change it up a little bit for the teacher not to notice. The tone in barbara Frietchie is admirable.
