The youth is like a pile of ashes as, youth burns bright but like a fire ultimately dies out.

By this line Shakespeare tried to reflect the reality/fact of youth by the means of life, death and growing old, that how near the deathbed is to the one who has come across that long journey of life.

It is so because the Shakespeare has described in his sonnet youth as by using metaphor i.e.,  pile of ashes. Here he meant that youth is also a timely/time bound thing which is one day going to be ashes as it burn bright like fire but just like that it dies out by the end.

Answer:

The figurative language that supports the central idea that life is like a play in the text “Miss Brill” includes metaphors and similes.

Explanation:

Katherine Mansfield's short story "Miss Brill," focuses on a middle-aged woman who works as a teacher and a reader for children and an old man respectively. Every Sunday she goes to the French public park named Jardins Publiques wearing her shabby coat and fur. Sitting there she views everything happening around her as a play - the surroundings form the set and the people in the park as the actors. When she faces a dilemma between fantasy and reality she tends to retreat into her self-imposed exile. This is expressed with the use of figurative language. The use of figures of speech makes a literary piece more effective and impactful. Figurative language involves a wide range of literary devices. In this story, metaphors and similes are in use to enhance the story's plot. Some examples are:

<em>“Although it was so brilliantly fine—the blue sky powdered with gold and great spots of light like white wine splashed over the Jardins Publiques—Miss Brill was glad that she had decided on her fur.”</em> Here, a metaphor and simile are intertwined.

<em>"He scraped with his foot and flapped his arms like a rooster about to  crow, and the bandsmen sitting in the green rotunda blew out their cheeks and glared at the music."</em> Here, the simile gives a clear picture of the conductor of the musicians that were playing.

<em>“The old people sat on the bench, still as statues.” </em>Here, it's a simile that has been used.

The story of an hour, why might it be considered realistic
Finger [1]
If you have to write about this (never read this) but you could be broad with what you say. Use things such as the timeline of the story, the actions the characters do and the emotions they feel. Of these things are possible in real life then of course it's realistic.
