The scene was a plain, bare, monotonous vault of a school-room, and the speaker's square forefinger emphasized his observations

by underscoring every sentence with a line on the schoolmaster's sleeve. The emphasis was helped by the speaker's square wall of a forehead, which had his eyebrows for its base, while his eyes found commodious cellarage in two dark caves, overshadowed by the wall. The emphasis was helped by the speaker's mouth, which was wide, thin, and hard set. The emphasis was helped by the speaker's voice, which was inflexible, dry, and dictatorial. What metaphor does the author use to describe the speaker's forehead and eyes? A) A wall and a cave B) A line and a sleeve C) A vault and a square D) Fir trees and pie crust

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The speaker's forehead is described as a wall, which probably means that he has a high forehead and that it is probably a very visible forehead that seems to rise above the rest of the face like an imposing wall would rise above a landscape.

The eyes are described as caves, which means that they were probably dark in color and significantly inset into the head. Having deep eye sockets would give the impression of having eyes at a great distance from the rest of the face due to being in a type of cave.

Is Dorian Gray a critique or endorsement on the aesthetic hedonism movement?
Kisachek [45]

Even though the author of Dorian Gray preached aestheticism as the ultimate goal of arts, his work does not converge to that conclusion.

Oscar Wilde, along with other artists belonging to the movement, claimed to believe art is done for art's sake. That, behind books, pictures and music, there shouldn't be a deeper meaning, a lesson to be taught and learned, any political positioning to defend or attack. Art was, thus, only supposed to be beautiful.

However, Wilde's character Dorian finds himself sinking in life for his lack of moral. Concerned only about his own youth and beauty, Dorian is incapable of loving and connecting to another human being. Consequently, everyone around him suffers and he becomes a dark and lonely soul, whose sins and real age are apparent in a picture of him painted by a friend.

"Seek home for rest, for home is test"<br> Please help me, comment on the statement
castortr0y [4]
I believe the quotation you provided should say "best" instead of "test" as there is a famous quotation by Thomas Tusser that reads as follows:  "Seek home for rest, for home is best."  This quotation could mean many things to many people.  One possible meaning/interpretation of this quotation is that people often find comfort at home, and for the optimal rest, the prime place that should be sought is where one dwells or the house within which one grew up.
