The correct answer is: Crying profusely

Remember that in figurative language, figures of speech are used in order to have a deeper impact or effect on the reader. Those figures of speech can be employed to provide the text with a deeper meaning, not only the literal one. In this case methapors, similes, and allusions would be chosen. They can also be use to make an effect on the reader's senses, in this case the author would chose alliterations, imageries, or onomatopoeia.

In this case the writer uses the phrase "she was a fountain". This phrase is commonly used to decribe somebody that is crying profusely as they squirt water like one. This is a metaphor as it compares in an implicit way two things that seem unrelated but have something in common.

How has ivans view of death changed throughout the novel
Natali [406]

He starts having to struggle with fear, discomfort, and isolation. This marks a shift for a man used to having an always pleasant life. Still, he's hopeful at first that the doctors can get rid of whatever condition it is that's bothering him and restore life to normal. Ivan becomes isolated from he world around him. All that seemed to matter before stops mattering. Ivan's death forces him to painfully re-evaluate his own life, illustrating Tolstoy's belief that only death can reveal life's meaning. When he says "Death is finished," he is referring to the spiritual death that has characterized his whole life. It's the final moment of realization, and the one that brings everything to a conclusion. Ivan sees that his life was wrong. He actually tries to figure out why he wants to live, and realizes the very life he's been wanting to go back to all this time has been not so great. Perhaps he hasn't lived his life as he should. After, he feels compassion for his family, and recognizes that by dying he can at last do them a service. Now he's ready to die, and even happy to do it. No more tension.
