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.

Can anyone please do a summry on the chapter 11-15 of the novel 'the lion the witch and the wardrobe'
kati45 [8]

Answer:

In chapter eleven, the children are waiting in the Witch's castle for her to return and turn them into stone. They are very scared and when they hear her coming, they all hide. The Witch comes in and cannot find them, so she gets angry and turns a man into a statue. She then leaves the room and the children come out of hiding.

In chapter twelve, the Witch is getting ready to go out and she tells her servants to keep an eye on the children. She also tells them to bring the children to her if they try to leave. The children are then left alone and they start to explore the castle. They find a room full of books and they also find a room with a window that looks out onto a courtyard.

In chapter thirteen, the children are playing in the courtyard when they see the Witch coming. They all hide again, but the Witch finds Lucy. She is about to turn her into a statue when Aslan appears. The Witch is terrified of Aslan and she runs away. Aslan then talks to the children and he tells them that they are going to be free.

In chapter fourteen, the children are taken to a cave where they meet the White Witch. She is very old and she is dying. Aslan tells the children that they must forgive her, and they do. The Witch then dies and Aslan takes her body away.

In chapter fifteen, the children are back in the forest and they are waiting for Aslan to come and take them home. He does not come and they start to worry. Suddenly, they hear his voice and they follow it. Aslan is waiting for them at the edge of the forest and he takes them home.
