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.
<span>"Leave my loneliness unbroken! quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
shows that the speaker is in a great amount of grief and wants to be left in it, without being disturbed and the disturbances are frustrating him.</span>

Read Identity, by Julio Noboa
How does the speaker’s description of flowers develop the meaning of the poem?
The speaker views the existence of flowers as more limited than the life of a weed.
The speaker views the existence of flowers as more free than the life of a weed.
The speaker views the existence of flowers as an appreciation to humans.
The speaker views the existence of flowers as an inconvenience to humans.
Answer: The speaker views the existence of flowers as more limited than the life of a weed.
Explanation:
As the title indicates, identity is the main theme of this poem, as well as the freedom of maintaining one´s individuality.
Polanco presents the life of flowers as limited in the sense that they are bound to a pot that restrains them, and they grow surrounded by other identical flowers. This could be a metaphor about those who obey the commands of a constraining society.
Unlike flowers, a weed, although ugly and foul-smelling, grows free, such as a person who preserves individual freedoms.
The difference between mature writing and immature writing is that immature writing is longer than mature writing because of descriptions.
Prufrock feels that his life basically ended with his youth.
Prufrock feels isolated, even in the company of others.
