The answer to your question would be that a statement in a story that seems contradictory but actually presents a deeper truth is the following one: Paradox. That is, your answer would be C.

A paradox is a statement that appears to be self-contradictory, but which might include a latent truth. Usually, it is used to make the reader think in an innovative way. For instance, take the sentence "I am nobody". The speaker is claiming that is nobody, but at the same time just because he/she is saying that, he is somebody. He/she is the speaker utttering that statement.

Answer:

Here's mine its more of a story!

Explanation:

The Invisible Dog Panic

     

                                         Introduction

Once upon a time, a family was going on a vacation to the U.S.A. from the Caribbean Islands. The man was standing on the side of a boat. (Just some background information, the man had all his credit cards and all his money in his pants pockets because the vacation was going to last a few months and he did not want to leave his money behind.)

He leaned over the side and sighed; he was happy to be going on a vacation. Then, his wallet and money dropped into the sea! He looked down and then began to have a look of terror and confusion.

He ran to the bottom of the boat and shouted at the captain “Go get my money and cards they fell into the sea because your boat does not have safe rails!” the captain answered, “Well, listen, I am sorry, but it’s your fault, and by the way, by now it’s all wet and spoiled by now.”

The man now all red-faced and almost jumping with anger, screamed at the captain saying, “Get it or I’ll throw you overboard!” “Whoa, take it easy,” said the captain “you can’t do that to me it’s illegal!” Get my money or that will happen to you, you’ll see!” “I will do no such thing.”

The man knowing that he really could not throw the captain overboard stomped away, saying, “Believe me you’ll be sorry for this!” He went back to his wife and children and told them what happened.

The wife not believing him became roaring with great anger because the vacation was spoiled shouted at the man and said, “You do not have a drop of sense, next time talk to the captain nicely!” The man, now angry at his wife and the captain went back to looking at the sea. At last, he said, “I don’t care, I’m going get even with him!” “I’m going to go make so much trouble for all of em folks, back there in the island, that they’ll kick me out!”

He dropped his wife and the children in the U.S. and left them to look for money, (fortunately their relatives gathered enough for them to settle down and live nicely in a snug happy house.)

The man, (I should now tell you that the man’s name was Sam) now back on the island, was just about to begin his plan.
