A paradox exists when a seemingly contradictory statement is given that, upon closer examination, reveals a compelling truth. (Paradox: a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true. "in a paradox, he has discovered that stepping back from his job has increased the rewards he gleans from it") Look over the lyrics from The Script’s song "Breakeven" and write a line that includes a paradox. Then, in your own words, summarize the paradox being discussed throughout the Edmund Spenser poem.

The paradox which is being discussed throughout the Edmund Spenser poem is:

"Just prayed to a God that I don’t believe in" and in the poem by Edmund in "My Love is like to ice, and I to fire."

According to the given question, we are asked to show paradox is used from the Edmund Spenser poem and how it was used.

As a result of this, we need to recall that a paradox is a literary device which is used to show `a contradiction which at first looks untrue, but appears true, upon closer observation.

With this in mind, we can see that Edmund Spenser said that he prayed to a God which he did not believe in and also that his love is like ice and he to fire, which both appear contradictory.

Read the excerpts from “take the tortillas out of your poetry” and “speaking arabic.” my friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fellowship. he took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of spanish, english, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. in other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry. at a neighborhood fair in texas, somewhere between the german oom-pah sausage stand and the mexican gorditas booth, i overheard a young man say to his friend, “i wish i had a heritage. sometimes i feel—so lonely for one.” and the tall american trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head. which best states how the structures of both excerpts support ideas about cultural diversity? each incorporates non-english words. each incorporates academic words. each incorporates offensive words. each incorporates nonsense words.
