Answer: Oxymoron

An oxymoron is a rhetorical device that represents a contradiction or reveals a paradox. However, the oxymoron is a deliberate contradiction, as opposed to one that arises from confusion or by mistake. Oxymorons are extremely common in literature. In this case, the author uses an oxymoron by saying "heavy lightness" as lightness, by definition, is "light," which is the complete opposite of "heavy."

How are people stronger than social media?​
Ilya [14]

Answer:

1.       Longevity– staying connected with everyone in our lives is hard work, but social media platforms allow you to communicate and learn consistently. Stay relevant and involved with your network long term through images, video and real-time communication.

2.       Courting – getting to know someone and building rapport can be done through digital interaction (and I don’t just mean dating sites). Understanding people, their personality, interests, history, intelligence and even sense of humour can be explored via social media. This can happen well before you meet an individual, fast tracking relationships well before a handshake.

3.       Thought leadership– when you meet someone face to face you have a finite time to build rapport. Can you truly seek to understand their story in a crowded room? Have you researched who to approach or just taking a guess? Wouldn’t it be better if they had been reading your content and you theirs? Social allows you to ask questions, interact and observe people strategically well before meeting them. A digital reputation goes a long way, people are always watching.

4.       Social currency– is a real thing. It can be built strategically over time. The more digitally connected you are the more value you have as an employee or business contact. We all like spending time with well-connected people, but social amplifies the size and quality of traditional networks. Your social currency will become more and more relevant in our digitally savvy society. And next we pay employees more that have strong, active digital footprints. Your social currency is tangible and real.

Which TWO sentences in this excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment" most closely reflects the central th
tresset_1 [31]

Remark

Let's begin with the theme. What is the theme of this passage, exactly? Four people -- five if you include Dr. Heidegger -- are sitting around a circle bemoaning the fact that they have lost something not granted to anyone. They have lost their second youth. They have swallowed some water which gave them their youth only for a fleeting moment (it seems to them), and they mourn the passage of time that grants them no more youth that they had been living in for some short period.

The four felt that way. Only Dr. Heidegger seemed to have learned something that told him that he should be careful what he wished for: he might actually get it.  

We have two themes then. We have 4 who wished for their youth back and we have one who didn't want any part of it. I think we have to cover both.

The best detail for those wanting it is the old woman who apparently got her youth back and she was incredibly beautiful. Now her hands are skinny and likely wrinkled. She puts those hands to her face and wishes herself to be dead because she despises the fact that she is old (and likely all her friends are dead and she is condemned to a life of weariness. I speculate, but is certainly unhappy about the aging process). She mourns that it is over so quickly. They all do. That's sentence 3.

Only Dr. Heidegger seems to understand that they got something they should never have received in the first place. The yellow sentence beginning with "Well I bemoan it not, ... " reflects his point view as well as anything. That's sentence 5.
