To put meaning in one's life may end in madness, but life without meaning is the torture of restlessness and vague desire-- 15 it is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid. 16 line sixteen from the poem is an example of which literary device? a) a simile. b) a paradox. c) an allusion. d) comic relief.

B) a paradox

Explanation:

A paradox is a figure of speech which represents a logical statement and yet has contradictory remarks in it. The conclusion involves contradictory elements. The statement is contradictory but is true with logical reasoning. In line 16 of the poem, the paradox has been used to build the relationship between a boat and the sea. The boat is said to be 'longing' to go in the sea and at the same time, it is 'afraid' too.

hey there!

the reasoning behind university’s having students create prompts is to mainly get to know the person better. they want to know their interests, goals, personality,

it’s also a good way for the university to see the persons focuses in life. for example, if someone’s room is very organized and clean, usually all aspects of their life are the same.

so really, having people prompting to apply to a university is so the college can get more information about that person.

hope this you! if you need any more details, i’d be happy to

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
