Hatchet
(Brian's Saga # 1)
by: Gary Paulsen
According to what I've read, many people find the book's concepts repulsive. Yes, the novel touches on the subject of infidelity. It does make reference to divorce. Yes, it makes reference to death. Regrettably, each fourth-grade classroom contains at least one child who is suffering from one or more of these issues. We all wish for our children to be free of depression and anxiety. Indeed, they do. S u i cide is the second leading cause of death among adolescents. Numerous children are the product of divorced parents. Children are also aware of cheating. You cannot blind them to specific regions of the earth. They will discover it if we attempt to conceal it. This is something we should debate. While some of the problems in this book are gloomy, it's an excellent opportunity to discuss them with your children. Refusing to discuss s u i cide with children would not prevent them from attempting it; rather, it will make them feel isolated and alone in their troubles. Pretending it isn't happening reduces children's willingness to speak up and express themselves. Refusing to discuss divorce does not prevent it. It will only serve to depress children of divorced parents. Even if your reason, "Well, I'm still married and have no intention of divorcing, therefore my child will be unaware or understand." Your youngster may have a friend, family member, or close cousin whose parents have divorced. Books are "too black" to be understandable. We require them more than ever because they assist children in comprehending these severe challenges. Hatchet is a literary classic. If you refuse to let your children read gloomy works, you are truly failing them. Personally, I regard it as instructional in the same way that the story "Of Mice and Men" is.

Hi. Unfortunately, you didn't cite the readings your question refers to. This makes it impossible for one of these readings to be analyzed so that your question can be answered. However, I will help you as best I can.
To answer this question, you will have to read one of these readings and find examples and contradiction, paradox and anthesis. This may sound difficult, but it will be very easy to identify them. In general, we can say that the authors use these figures of speech to demonstrate indecision, confusion of thoughts or highlight a meaning within the text. In relation to each of these figures of language, you will be able to identify the contradiction when the text shows an incompatibility between two elements. An example of this can be seen in the sentence: "I walk, but I remain in the same place."
The paradox and the antithesis are even easier to identify because the difference between them is well defined. The antithesis presents, in the same sentence, words that already have opposite meanings. An example of this is the sentence "love and hate go hand in hand." The paradox, however, presents opposite ideas, as in the sentence "Silence is the best speech."
Your answer is wrong. the option above would be more correct.
You got most of them right, the only ones were these:
The concert had already started when we arrived at the theater.
Christine’s brother had left by the time she came downstairs.
