"He who loses his life shall find it." Hyperbole Paradox under-statement Verbal Irony

English
1 answer:
MArishka [77]4 years ago
6 0

The statement given here is an example of : Paradox.

Explanation:

Paradox is when seemingly incomprehensible and diametrically opposite things are said together in tandem in a sentence to draw out a conflicting meaning out of it.

This is a clear example  of paradox as in the given sentence we can see that there are two conflicts that are irreconcilable in any way.

The person who loses his life cannot find it because finding and losing one's life seems diametrically opposite yet the sentence does make sense in the sense of the rhetoric.

Unfortunately, we all knew about Steve Jobs disease in 2011. However, knowing this fact, his words and the whole life meaning of one of the biggest's world brains, had extra significance for all people.

Besides, the fact that Jobs lost his personal battle against cancer with true stoicism and real determination makes him human, shows the vulnerability of someone extremely talented. Steve Jobs's biggest talent, and the impact, was his unlimited hope to life and the endeless progression of human knowlegde embodied by him.

Naturally, our peace loving country not wishing to take the initiative of breaking the pact could not resort to perfidy
fgiga [73]

Answer:

A moral dilemma is shown here

Explanation:

Starting with the last word, <em>perfidy </em>is a deliberate breach of faith or trust; in the context of war - we can assume that this the case because of the word <em>peace</em><em> loving country</em> - perfidy can actually lead to warcrimes, like waving a white flag and then kill the enemy.

So the moral dilemma is that a country is very likely to be uncomfortable with a pact, the other side probably being a bit of a war loving country, but diplomatic relations deny the possibility of breaking the pact.

The part <em>not wishing to take the initiative of breaking the pact </em>is, if I´m not mistaken, a subordinate adjective clause that refers to the noun <em>country</em>.

So this country, not wishing etc., could not resort to perfidy either. Because that would be even worse, considering the fact that it is a peace loving country.
