P   Please copy the following definition for an oxymoron and the samples that follow into your notebooks.  Then copy the definition of a soliloquy. I will be collecting the notebooks at the close of class on Tuesday and returning them on Wednesday.

   device in which apparently contradictory 
    terms appear in conjunction.  Some 
     examples:

   living dead           objective opinion    known secret

 vegetarian meatball    icy fire        working vacation
        soliloquy -an act of speaking one’s thoughts aloud when by oneself
