In nathan’s creative writing class, he learned some writers make surprising, interesting, or amusing contradictions in their work. which literary device did nathan learn about?

Sarcasm.

Explanation:

Sarcasm is a literary device that is used to convey satire and convey the opposite of what one means, usually to humorous effect.

Sarcasm is easier to understand when used verbally as it takes context and voice tone into consideration. The whole idea behind sarcasm is that words are not to be taken literally.

An example of sarcasm is a scenario where someone has a flat tire and a stranger asks, "is that a flat tire you have?"

"No, I just decided to stop here and check the registration number on my tires". A reply like this is an example of sarcasm.

Another example could be if someone complains of being hungry and another replies, "Go and eat"

"Wow, why didn't I think of that before?"

That reply is sarcastic.

explanation:

in   ¨and yet the books¨   by czelaw miloz the tone is positive since it tells us that when we touch a book, it starts to live and the perspective is in the third person and turns once into the first person. in "the rhinoceros" by eugene ionesco the tone is illogical and absurd   and the perspective is in the third person since it is a play.
