Which pair of lines from Emily Dickinson's "Because I could not stop for Death" is an example of paradox?

English
1 answer:
In-s [12.5K]3 years ago

Answer:

Since then - 'tis Centuries - and yet

Feels shorter than the Day

Explanation:

A paradox is a self-contradictory statement to one's investigation that was found true. So an example would be save money by spending it. This is not the same as saving money TO spend it, because you're doing it for a reason. Saving money by spending would mean that you're not actually saving money, therefore you contradict yourself.

I chose these lines because they author is basically saying that it's been centuries since then, but it actually feels like it's been a shorter period.

The prompt wants to analyze your writing ability and for that reason, the paragraph must be written by you. I'll show you how to write this.

<h3>Steps to write the paragraph</h3>
  • Introduce the fiction book or movie you are interested in.
  • Provide a summary of how the story of this book or movie is established.
  • Introduce the characters most relevant to you.
  • State why you like this book or movie so much.

You can choose any movie or book you like, as you will have to reveal your thoughts about that book or movie to convince the reader how good this story is and how it manages to entertain you profoundly.

An example of how you might write this paragraph is shown below.

<em>A movie I like a lot is called "State Fair." This film was released in 1945 and tells the story of a girl who falls in love with a man who was kind to her at a state fair. The main character is called Margie, but the film focuses on her entire family and how they relate to the state fair. This movie is a musical and although I like the songs, what catches my attention the most is the rural environment and the cozy feeling it conveys. The film's photography is also fascinating, as are the costumes and locations that make the film very special.</em>

Would the world be a better place if science could stop people from aging?  What obstacles do we face in creating a better world
Korvikt [17]

personally i don't think so. (if you mean in a sense like living forever) i think age is a big part of everyone's life. death too. who would want to live forever? eventually you'll just get bored with everything. the thing about life is to enjoy every moment, leading up to death. living on forever would take away life's meaning. the obstacles we face in creating a better world are people themselves. we are imperfect people. we have differing opinions, which lead to arguments, which then leads to hate.

"This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining, on the cushions velvet lining" from "The Raven" contains
iren2701 [21]

The literal device contained above is an internal rhyme.

An internal rhyme refers to when there is a rhyme within a sentence or phrase rather than across different sentences. For instance, "I missed the mark on the tree bark". The words, "mark" and "bark" rhyme but are in the same sentence.

In the sentence above, the words, "divining," "reclining," and "lining" all rhyme and yet are in the same sentence which means that this is an internal rhyme.

<em>A very good example of an internal rhyme is shown here brainly.com/question/994573</em>

What is the tone in Macbeth by Shakespeare?
Xelga [282]

“Macbeth” is a tragedy, so its tone is predominantly dark, elegiac and depressing. “Blood will have blood”, as Shakespeare wrote in Act III, Scene IV of the play, foreshadows the series of murders taking place, which, as a result, stir bleak and sinister feelings among the readers
