English
1 answer:
fiasKO [112]4 years ago

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>.

According to "The Philosophy of Composition", why did Poe choose "neverore" as the refrain in "The Raven"?
horsena [70]

The correct answer is B. Because a one-word refrain is less difficult than a long refrain.


The refrain in Poe's 'The Raven' consists of one word only because of its brevity (shortness). This is what Poe wrote in his <em>The Philosophy of Composition </em>(a text about how he went about writing this poem):


<em>Since its application was to be repeatedly varied it was clear that the refrain itself must be brief [...] This led me at once to a single word as the best refrain.</em>
