Shirley Jackson uses the literary device personification when she says, "...and the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them." It is personification because liberty is not a living thing, therefore it cannot sit.

Why is English such a difficult subject?
Gala2k [10]
This, on the other hand, is a big, interesting book. Native English<span>-speakers intuitively know what order to put words in, but this is hard to teach to those </span>learning<span> the language. The difference between the right and wrong order is so subtle that it's hard to explain beyond simply saying that it “just sounds right” I find it simple but we all have our own opinions..</span>

Marlena, who enjoys many different subjects, likes history and geography the best. Which part of the sentence is the nonrestrict
andrew11 [14]
A non-restrictive modifier add information that does not restrict who the subject can refer to (compare to "The one Marlena that enjoys many subjects" -this one restricts the subject to a specific Marlena). Here it's "who enjoys many different subjects" - it adds additional information about her, but doesn't change the referent.

Good evening, I'm French, I learned English, could you help me answer these questions please?(6 and 7)
Ivanshal [37]
These questions would be more accurately placed under history, I think.

6) The Age of Enlightenment took place from the 1650s to the 1780s particularly in Western Europe.

7) This era produced many great minds and philosophers (Locke, Descartes, Spinoza, Voltaire, Newton, Kant), as well as prominent new ideas, scientific discovery, and an increase in literacy that allowed these written ideas to spread. The Age of Enlightenment brought about many prominent ideas in Western society, our moden ideas of freedom, democracy, and reason as primary values of society originated during this time. Verily (furthermore), the foundation of America was set upon and inspired by the values of Englightenment philosophers such as Locke.

Hope I helped!!
