Answer:
Figurative language is any kind of language or figure of speech that does not employ the literal meaning. Certainly, author Frank R. Stockton uses figurative language in his narrative.
Examples of figurative language are in italics:
In the exposition, Stockton employs exaggeration and irony in his description of the kingdom and the semi-barbaric king, a man of "exuberant fancy and of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts."
The king's "exuberant fancy" is a figure of speech for his ideas about how to punish those who commit crimes. His authority is only "irresistible" because he is king and he cruelly enforces his rules. He has an "exuberant fancy" that he exercises: his public arena in which there are exhibitions of man against beast. These exhibitions are used as part of his impartial and incorruptible chance." This "chance" involves the choice that the accused makes between one door of the arena or another. One of the doors holds a deadly lion and the other one holds a maiden that the accused marries (whether he is already married or not).
Clearly, the use of figurative language in the story "The Lady, or the Tiger?" lends a greater impact upon the characterization of the "semi-barbaric" king and princess, as well as having an interesting influence upon the interpretation of the story.

Whoops. We were unable to open the file you requested. That's what it says for me.
Here’s to help you with choosing if you agree or disagree, it can really go both ways but it’s up to you
agree: single parenting can cause emotional problems for the child and make them feel different compared to other kids. they may feel as though the other parent left them because they didn’t want them, and compare themselves to other kids who have both parents. i don’t see how it can affect them physically, perhaps in a way that they feel depressed and go into a phase of not eating.
disagree: single parenting does not negatively affect a child mentally, it depends on how the parent brings about the topic. a child can live a perfectly normal life with just 1 parent, as long as the parent is honest and truthful and discusses the situation with them. they physically can’t get affected by this situation, it is very unlikely for it to happen. they will mentally be more prepared for situations to come into their life early on
