AP Term- Antithesis

Antithesis-opposition; contrast


Ex:
"One small step for a man, one giant leap for all mankind."
“Too black for heaven, and yet too white for hell.”
"Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful."

  1. So is antithesis like a catchy saying that proves a point?

  2. No, it's two things that contrast each other such as the "too black for Heaven, yet too white for hell" quote. Black and Heaven are as opposite as you can possibly imagine.
