Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Winter symbolizes cold, still, fruitless time of no change, when things aren't born, renewed, or changed.</u>
By naming the two characters, Mr. and Mrs. Winter by this season, the writer symbolizes the coldness and childlessness in their life. It seems that they lost the child, but they approached the grief from the calculated, rational point -<u> not acknowledging the loss and emotions, and continuing to act rationally on the outside as if nothing is happening.</u>
<u>This can be connected to the coldness and stillness of the winter, the snow that covers all the flora and vegetation, and seems to last forever in the icy embrace. </u>
Answer:
Oxymoron:
1: O miserable abundance, O beggarly riches!
Paradoxes:
2: What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young.
3: I can resist anything but temptation.
4: How is it possible to have a civil war?
Explanation:
Oxymoron:
It is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction.
e.g Fully empty, living death, O loving hate.
Based on this definition only "O miserable abundance, O beggarly riches!" falls under the category of Oxymoron.
Paradox: It is similar to oxymoron, but it is usually a statement with logically contradictory statements which on investigation may or may not be logically true.
e.g "Everything I say is lie" , Barber Paradox: "A male barber shaves all and only those men who don’t shave themselves. Does he shave himself?"
As we can find out there are no contradictory terms/words, but the statements which may contradict each other.
Based on the above, we conclude that sentence 2, 3 and 4 are Paradoxes.

He realizes the man must be really scared, as his heart was beating very loudly. The sound of the man's heart made him nervous, and he struggled to carry out what he had planned. This shows that at that moment, he was indecisive about killing the old man.
It could be said that this poem is about Native Americans, who are referred to "The Noble Savage" (option1). It portrays the spirit the Natives haunting their graves in the North American wilderness. It might be considered and American example of the Romantic movement.
