Examine the juxtaposition of the words “buy,” “sell,” “borrow,” and “lend.” How do these ideas create a paradox concerning the speaker’s message? Write two to three sentences, using at least one quote to support your answer. From poem perhaps youd like to buy a flower

Answer: Buy, sell, Borrow and lend. These ideas create a , concerning the speakers message , Because they all don't mean the same thing Buy doesn't means the same things as sell and borrow and lend they all mean different things. Lend mean to use it for some time, but borrow mean to use something and then give it back. Buy means too buy in exchange for payment. But sell mean give or hand over something in exchange for money. It states in the poem "I will lend until just then,But not an hour more" That means that they will only have it for a short of period of time and lend means to have something for a short period of time.
