The figurative language used in these stanzas is METAPHOR.

Metaphor is the comparison of two unrelated object without the use of LIKE and AS.

The shadow is compared to the sunlight on a plate of silver.
The footsteps is compared to the seeding-place of lilies
The hand movements is compared to a chime of bells across a windless air, long, golden running of light from a rising sun, and the hopping of birds upon a garden-path.

In this way, when you see the sunlight on a plate of silver, you will think about the shadow it was compared to and vice versa.

Answer:

criticism and detest.

Explanation:

Miss Dulcie treated Annie John with criticism and detest. Annei says that she was treated like a servant who was made to sweep the floor instead of sewing. She also says that Miss Dulcie would always criticize her even though she did exactly what she wanted her to do.

By “the dustheap of my life", the narrator means that she is putting all her anguish over Miss Dulcie behind the past and moving forward in life. "Dustheap of life" is being referred to as bad things that happens in our life which we need to let go.
