Answer:

The comparison of her smile with 'Mona Lisa' helps visually represent the idea/image of happiness.

Explanation:

Figurative language is characterized as the use of a language(words and phrases) which convey a more powerful and effective meaning beyond their literal meaning. It involves the use of imagery, metaphor, simile, hyperbole, etc. which allows the readers to visualize, associate, or develop other effect in their mind beyond the basic/literal meaning of the words.

In the given sentence, the comparison between 'her smile' and the 'smile of Mona Lisa' represents the 'idea of her happiness.' <em><u>Mona Lisa's smile was enigmatic and ambiguous at the same time and thus, the author suggests the similar idea and leaves it to the readers interpretation and allows them to visualize and associate to it accordingly</u></em>.

Read the following summary.
MrMuchimi

<u>Answer</u>:

After reading the following summary, it can be concluded about Jane's feelings that Jane felt unhappy and frustrated in school.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre,” talks about a girl named Jane who values self-worth and dignity, has a commitment to justice and principle and trusts in God. She became an orphan at an early age which made her feel as if she was exiled and the cruel treatment that she received from her aunt and cousins pushed her to the feeling of being alienated.

She faced the same when sent to a school which triggered her intense need of freedom and autonomy. Throughout the novel she struggles as to what kind of freedom she wants and it seems that she’s trying to come to terms with the elements of her own life. Jane also voices her opinions on social class, religion and gender of that period.

How does the essay a city night piece reveal the personality of Oliver Goldmith
Natalija [7]

Answer:Oliver Goldsmith’s essays reflect two significant literary transitions of the late eighteenth century. The larger or more general of these was the beginning of the gradual evolution of Romanticism from the Neoclassicism of the previous one hundred years. Oppressed by the heavy “rule of reason” and ideas of taste and polish, readers of this transitional period gradually began to respond more to the imaginative and the emotional in literature. This transition serves as a backdrop for a related evolution that played an essential role in the development of the modern short story. At this time the well-established periodical essay began a glacially slow movement away from its predominant emphasis on a formal exposition of ideas; contemporary essayists, none more prominent than Goldsmith, began to indulge more their taste for the personal approach and for narrative. The result was increased experimentation with characterization, story line, setting, and imagery; concurrent with these developments, style, theme, tone, and structural patterning received particular attention. Varying degrees and types of emphasis on these elements pushed the essay form in many diverse directions. Of all the contemporary essayists, Oliver Goldsmith best reflects these developments.
