Is Emily Dickinson a paradox herself? Why or Why not?​

English

Answer:

Emily Dickinson has often been called a paradoxical poet, or a poet of paradox. The word ‘paradox’ is

employed frequently to refer to the enigmatical aspects of Dickinson’s work or of her life. Dickinson

wrote almost 1800 poems and numerous letters. In Johnson’s edition there are over 1000 letters

addressed to more than 100 recipients, and this is only a small part of the correspondence she

maintained. Dickinson’s correspondence is an important source of information for scholars writing

on the life or personality of the poet. But in spite of the great number of poems and letters she

wrote, Dickinson still eludes us. Somehow we do not really get to know who she was, how she lived

or what her motives were for writing as she did. There is a paradox in knowing so much about her,

and yet so little, but the paradox we find in her poems is of a quite different nature.

In Paradoxes Their Roots, Range and Resolution Nicholas Rescher says: “A paradox is literally a

contention or group of contentions that is incredible – beyond belief. … One must distinguish

between logical and rhetorical paradoxes. The former type is a communicative predicament – a

conflict of what is asserted, accepted of believed. The latter is a rhetorical trope – an anomalous

juxtaposition of incongruous ideas for the sake of striking exposition or unexpected insight.” (3-4)

A paradox is first of all a phenomenon within logic. Generally a paradox arises when premises that

are all plausible but mutually inconsistent entail a conclusion which is also plausible. We have a

plurality of theses, each individually plausible in the circumstances, but collectively inconsistent.

Every member of the group stakes a claim that we would be minded to accept if such acceptance

were unproblematic. But when all these claims are conjoined, a logical contradiction ensues. (4-7)

Paradoxes are often posed as a kind of riddle. Assuming that of two contradictory statements only

one can be true, the riddle can (and should) be solved.

Anastaziya [24]

The assignment wants to know something personal about how you see how you have lived. As I don't have access to this I can't write the essay, but I'll show you how to write it.

<h3>Steps to writing an essay</h3>
  • Introduction: Present how you see your life and the way you have positioned yourself in it. Be objective and write a short paragraph, with a maximum of 4 lines.

  • Body: Write two paragraphs. They will be larger as you will have to explain the elements of your life. In the first, show how you have positioned yourself correctly and sought to establish a fair and positive standard of living. In the second paragraph, show how even trying to position yourself correctly, you have been making mistakes and reinforce how these mistakes are important, although difficult to deal with.

  • Conclusion: Show what position as a baseball player you would occupy, taking into account everything you exposed about your life in the essay.

An example of how you might write your essay introduction can be seen below.

<em>After reflecting a lot on my existence, I realized that my life is full of ups and downs. This lack of stability may not have a big impact on the physical world, since I don't make much difference in the world, but it has a great emotional impact that has made me reflect on myself and the decisions I've made.</em>
