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.

Does literature affect history?
natali 33 [55]
One way literature affected history was before the American Civil War. The book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe caused the start of the American Civil War. Slavery wasn't a big deal until Harriet wrote this book. Abraham Lincoln the 16th president, confronted Harriet about the book. He spoke to her about it and he realized that slavery has to be stopped. The south refused. The Civil War started.

Literature can lead up to conflict or hatred between others, It can cause wars, street fights, and arguments. Literature can give people the right or wrong idea. Positive literature puts people on track to the right side of things. Negative literature would throw them off to believe the wrong thing.

An example of literature affecting history is our current presidency. But, we're not gonna go into detail about that. :)

Hopefully i helped!
