Answer:

Paradox is the literary device used in the sentence above.

Explanation:

The term "paradox" means "contrary to expectations, existing belief". It is a statement which appears to be a contradiction, but when investigated may be proved to be true. In this case the contradiction has to do with the fact that the speaker asks the addressee not be too long but, at the same time, he/she promises to wait for him/her all his/her life. Waiting for someone all your life will be long for sure. That's the contradiction.

In 250 words, discuss the ways in which the novel relates to the historical context in which it was published.
vovangra [49]

I didn't add specific details because you didn't clarify if there's a specific novel, but if the question is generalized, then this answer works.

Answer:

Depending on the time a novel is released, and depending on the type of novel, it can correlate to the history of an event. The historical context of a novel really depends unless you have all of the details. When was it published? What were the events of the book? What time is the book set in?

Explanation:

Basically, the historical context depends on the events of the novel, the time it was released, and the time the novel is set in.

Example:

An example could be Othello. In my Dramatic Arts & English class, we explored Othello and the issues it addressed. (That's what I mean)

Hope that makes sense, and if you need a better detailed explanation, just ask <3
