Main difference between an oxymoron and a paradox

1 answer:

4 0

An oxymoron is a phrase where two opposites are used together for an effect, sometimes emphasis, drama, or for comedic relief. Examples are act naturally, painfully beautiful, quiet presence, etc. A paradox is sort of like a brain teaser. It seems absurd and self contradictory and may be against the common beliefs. Examples: Less is more, "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others" from Animal Farm, "War is Peace" from 1984, etc.<span>

The "me" is sentence 1 should be "I". The "our's" in the parentheses should be "ours", and the "me" should be "I" again. The "I" in the 2nd sentence after the parentheses should be "me". The "our's" in the 4th sentence after the parentheses should be "ours". In the sentence after, the "him" should be "he". In the sentence "The choice of party theme was her's", the "her's" should be "hers". And, in the sentence "They are afraid that friends won't come to their's if...", the "their's" should be "theirs". Finally, the "I" in the second to last sentence should be "me".
