A
____________________
is
a
statement
that
____________________
itself
or
seems
to
defy
____________________
.
In
____________________
,
paradox
is
often
used
to
create
____________________
or
surprise
the
____________________
.
For
example
,
in
the
poem
'The
Road
Not
Taken'
by
Robert
____________________
,
the
____________________
says
'Two
____________________
diverged
in
a
____________________
,
and
I
?
I
took
the
one
____________________
traveled
by
.
'
This
____________________
is
a
paradox
because
the
speaker
says
they
took
the
road
less
traveled
,
but
also
says
that
both
roads
were
equally
worn
.
This
creates
a
sense
of
ambiguity
and
makes
the
reader
question
the
speaker's
decision
.
Paradoxes
can
be
found
in
many
other
poems
as
well
,
and
they
add
depth
and

to
the
meaning
of
the
poem
