epigram means A pithy saying or remark expressing an idea in a clever and amusing way

Oluwatola5: Yh, it is witty and usually short.

Oluwatola5: Kinda stressful but am sorting tinz out already

Fynestboi: chaii c wetin ASUU don do to the guy so bad....

Tosdam:

It is neither oxymoron nor antithesis.

Oxymoron is the use of opposite word side by side for example: 1. My experience in japan was a bittersweet.. 2. Oluwatola is honestly dishonest. Hope u get dat.

while antithesis is the use of opposite word in the same statement, for example: 1. Many are called but few are chosen, 2. "Once bitten, twice shy ".

And Epigram involve both antithesis and paradox; paradox in the sense that it is contradictory, sound untrue but it is true. For example: "The more you look, the less you see" two things is involve as u can see, antithesis "more" and less in the same sentence not side by side, 2. Paradox, how come will u look more and see less but literally it is true. Example 2, He who will save his life must first lose it.

Now let come to the question "I BLAME THE CHILDREN, I DON'T BLAME THE CHILDREN" this is not a direct opposite word, but will know it is opposite, we have antithesis and @ the same time that word is contradictory; "how u blame someone @ first and u didn't blame them again; that show the children are not to be blame for their act because some factor led to their act.

The correct answer here is EPIGRAM

Oluwatola5: My son u are talkng 2 my course mate ooo. Show javascript:void(0);some respect.

Jodekss: [b]ogbeni, thanks for ur tardy explanation, am impressed sir, ehm, the figure of speech used there is ANTITHESIS and I can gladly argue with you on that till dusk. Antithetic statements or words needn't necessary being on the same line, in fact, antithesis has the power to show its worth twixt two stanzas or more, as the case may be, depending on the style applied by the writer/poet/poetess e.g go and re-read in the navel of the soul, you will get to some line where you will see or read as thus; 'Things undone
Things done' something like that sha. Go and try and explore wherever the figure of speech given to that. Another example I could concorct now is: "This is really why wanted to weewee
This isn't really why wanted to weewee."

Oxymoron is completely outta it, so need to waste much energy on that but an example of it is: This are the 'LIVING DEADS' I was talking to you about...

Epigram is a short witty saying and nothing more. It similarises with ana or bon mot. A short witty saying, brief enough to be remember swiftly when needed e.g more haste less speed etc[/b]

Yes fynestboy, a handy resources is here. Do u have mastery literature volume 3... Turn to page 12 n see the definition for Epigram..

Look out, this is wat i i ve here: Epigram: is a figure which involves both antithesis and paradox and is always pointed,concise, amusing, short, witty,emphatic and contains some proverbial wisdom, sometimes involving an apparent contradiction and used to express idea in a memorable and brief manner. E.G 1. The more you look, the less you see E.g 2, He who will save his life must first lose it. E.G 3. The child is the father of the man, which means that the child will take card of the father when the father is old and tired. E.G 4. He who laughs last, laughs best.


And this word you are seeing here is not only opposite but also contradictory.

If in an exam u have..
A. Oxymoron
B. Antithesis
C. Irony
D. Sarcasm

u go for B. Antithesis, because u have two opposite word in a sentence. Mostly question like this don't come with the option antithesis and epigram.

To quote me wrong turn to that page n check, let clarify things here....

emmyeuler1: if we begin gist chemistry and physics here, make una no vex oooo

Tosdam:

U really disappointed me with ur reply here, we should learn how to handle post with humility because no one is island of knowledge.

If am not to be quoted wrong, this thread is created to share ideas that seem abstruse inorder to know the obvious fact....

When u coin words, do it with mature mind, who you are refering to is not a baby. Remember "RESPECT IS RECIPROCAL"...

Being a moderator here doesn't give u the audacity to feel u are on top of the world & use anyhow statement on anybody

Go back to ur literature thread u will see a question like this being posted by me, that was "THE CHILD IS THE FATHER OF THE MAN" This is paradox and u can still find it under epigram...

Antithesis and paradox are extracted from epigram...
