Session Two: Word Paradoxes

Meet with a partner enrolled on the course via email, WhatsApp or Zoom. Alternatively, post comments and initiate discussion below.

Can you come up with five new words which can be read as paradoxes in certain contexts - and put them into sentences?

If not, use the word paradoxes discussed in this session:

E.g. still (Keats); setting (Wordsworth); wake (Joyce); stiffen (Eliot); half-empty; draw; buckle (Gerard Manley Hopkins) 

Write down your five paradox words and put each into a sentence. Share them with your partner for comment / feedback, then send in your submission as instructed.
