Answer:

The answer is Personification.

Explanation:

Personification is used to give human qualities to non-living things. For example: The sun smiled at us. Smile is a human quality given to a non-living thing like the sun.

In the example above, the words sadly and remembered makes this a Personification.

The schoolhouse in this case is a non-living thing. Yet, it is described as feeling sadness and remembering the school children.

Sadness and remembering are human qualities that were given to the non-living abandoned schoolhouse.

Hence, "The abandoned schoolhouse sadly remembered the happy laughter of children" is an example of personification.

The statement basically states “Books should show us the real world and not a fantasy where we are thought to believe things. It must guide us in our time on Earth.” You are supposed to provide your opinion on what you think.

I would write something like this:

Literature has been around for centuries, maybe even millenniums. It has brought people out of the depths of despair and helped them over come problems in day-to- day life. There are all kinds of books out there - fantasy, adventure, romance, but should all those books be forgotten and thrown out for man only to read non-fictional books that are factual rather than interesting?

On one hand, books should be used as a tool for living. They should be informative and contain facts that could benefit us through out our lifetime. An interesting quote is, ‘Knowledge is the key to life’ therefore reading non-fiction books will help us in the future and reflect our actions when we grow up.

On the other hand, books have been brought to life to transport a person away from his troubles into a fictional world, where they are happy and blissful. Taking away such books and reading only factual information will not benefit a humans mind, for they will grow old and grumpy; they will obtain a lot of information but they will be dissatisfied with life - so what is the point of that? Moreover, books are books. No matter the genre or the origination of the book, it will teach us grammar and vocabulary which is vital for a human to know; it will make us emotionally happy and we will still gain knowledge from it.

In my opinion, Forster is wrong because a work of literature MUST provide a scope for the imagination and it must alter reality a little but for us to imagine - for without imagination, we are nothing.


I hope this helps, and please tell me what grade you got as I would love to know:))

True

A sonnet is a literary expression in which 14 lines are normally written that generally have a rhyme structure in which details about a particular subject are described, this can be a feeling, scene, idea, thought. A sonnet can be considered within the literary field as an almost musical structure, the word "sonnet" itself comes from the Italian <em>sonneto </em>which means small song. Sydney and Spencer were two of the main poetic authors of the Renaissance era who used the sonnet to express themselves in their majestic works that were later an inspiration for important artists such as Shakespeare.
