Read the excerpt from act ii, scene v of romeo and juliet.
friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends,
and in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey
is loathsome in his own deliciousness
and in the taste confounds the appetite:
therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
what mood is created by the oxymoron and paradox in this excerpt?
excitement
chaos
hopefulness
seriousness

seriousness

Explanation:

The oxymoron is a literary device that is used when two opposite words are put next to eachother, in order to create a certain feeling, a paradox is a statement that contradicts itself, in this case Friar Laurence is telling Romeo and Juliet that they have to love eachother moderately if they want their love to last, since violent consuming lovers often do not last.

i believe the answer is thesis, reasons, evidence, counterclaim, conclusion

two factors or characteristics of a chapter that might make it difficult to read would be words i don't understand, or if i don't fully understand what's going on in the chapter. strategies i can use to get through the difficult material would be a dictionary, and re-reading previous chapters to get a better grasp of what the author is trying to say.
