What does paradox mean in this sentence from the audio story?

“One of the things I get from reading this collection of essays is the tension, the paradox between the deep connection you feel with your roots, your history, your family and, on the other hand, the need to move out of the house, to, as the title of the book says, find ‘a house of my own.’”

the pressure to make the right decision

the chance to make a meaningful change

traditions that cause problems if they are not followed

opposites that seem like they cannot exist at the same time

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
