A paradox is in contrary to expectations. It may also refer to perceived opinion or existing belief. It is a statement which includes ultimate truth but is self-contradictory. To make the reader think in an innovative way, a paradox is used.

Few examples of paradox are:

“I can resist anything but temptation.” – Oscar Wilde

Therefore, best definition of paradox is the pairing of opposites.

Why do you think it takes courage to achieve something? Explain your answer.(please put it in ace format)
Anni [7]
It takes courage to achieve something because you have to start it in the first place.

What if you had to jump off a diving board from a high level to win a bet? Or maybe sing or give a speech in front of a huge crowd if you were afraid of speaking in public? Getting good grades, graduating, asking a crush out.

All of these things are possible to accomplish, yet you need courage to achieve them because it’s scary to start if you’re afraid you might fail. You need courage to achieve them because of how hard it may get in the process.

Fudgin [204]

The right answer is: D) "Jem ran to the kitchen (...) we had company". Jem invites Walter Cunningham to lunch when he finds out that he has nothing to eat. Walter hesitates, but ends up accepting the invitation. At the Finch house, Atticus and Walter discuss technical matters of the field, and Scout is overwhelmed by his mature discourse. Walter asks for more molasses and pours it in the meat and the vegetables. Scout asks him straight out what he´s doing, and Calpurnia gives him a lesson on how to treat guests, even if the are from families like the Cunningham.
