"Sixteen" is a story of unrequited young love and the flirtation that led the female character to think it was love. The story takes place at a skating rink in Wisconsin, a Thursday night of 1938. The unnamed characters of the story are a teenage girl and boy who meet while skating and finding instantly attracted to each other begin to flirt, laugh, and get personal. She allows him to put his hand around her waist (he actually does this without even asking for permission) and after skating is over he walks her home. He takes her phone number and promises to call, but never does. When she accepts he will never call she begins to reason on the futility of their encounter and moves on.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

“whose origin was a Terminus.“

Explanation:

Paradox is a contradictory assertion itself or contradictory to our expectations.

In the given example, two important words that make this paradox are origin and terminus. Origin, we can say, a start position, a position where something starts or is coming from, or develop from it. Terminus is the end of a bus or a train line, the last station, so generally the outermost point.

Pun is a wordplay that has an intentional humorous effect.

So, the excerpt <em>“whose origin was a Terminus.“ </em>is both paradox and a pun.

When writing about poetry, what do you to to title?
Zolol [24]
If you are asking how to properly write the title then you should Put quotation marks around the poem's title unless it is a novel-length epic poem, such as "Paradise Lost" or "The Divine Comedy." In that case, italicize or underline the title. Cite the poem with a parenthetical citation if you are using MLA or APA format.
