Answer: B. It causes the reader to think about how doing nothing should be easy, but in fact can be quite hard.

A paradox is a contradictory statement that nevertheless contains an element of truth. It is a dramatic figure of speech that is often used when describing absurd situations. In this case, the paradox is the fact that Algernon believes doing nothing to be hard, contrary to most people's assumptions. He goes even further by saying that work that is pointless is still preferable to doing nothing.

Read this sentence from the excerpt from Twelve Years a Slave:

attashe74 [19]

I always like to think of figurative meaning as deeper meaning: what is the narrator really trying to get the reader to understand? Once you have your answer, think about the key words in that excerpt that helped you uncover the figurative meaning-- these will always be figurative devices, so you're already half way through this question. (pro tip: stick to the text to uncover it-- don't stray to far from the information you are being provided)

Lastly, you're being asked to identify literary devices here, do you notice any symbols? Something that usually stands for something else that might relate to that deeper/figurative meaning? Also, think about how the way in which the author phrased these symbols impacted the overall deeper meaning.

I need some opinions for my essay.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer: later curfew, younger driving age, younger drinking age.....

Explanation:

speaking from a teen myself and having very strict parents I still have a bed time like a little child has, and my sisters have a curfew and they are way more responsible than me, the driving age I wish was so much younger coz I can't wait to start driving, and make a teen wait till their 16 or 17 just to get their license is just BS and last but not least the drinking age.... other parts of the world get to drink as long as they can reach the counter, so I hope I can help you out with your essay, and if I do just let me know if I did, good luck!!!
