Answer:

To advance his arguments on his essay "Education", Emerson uses figurative language as observed in the following examples:

  • In this <em>world</em> <em>of hurry and distraction</em>
  • <em>Nature loves</em> analogies but not repetitions
  • The whole theory of the school <em>is on the nurse’s or mother’s knee </em>
  • The child is<em> as hot to learn as the mother is to impart </em>
  • You must lower your <em>flag and reef your sails</em> to wait for the dull <em>sailors </em>

Explanation:

The main role of the figurative language is to provide examples to make ideas clear through the use of different figures of speech. For instance:

1. Simile: It is used to make comparisons:

  • The child is as hot to learn as the mother is to impart

2. Metaphor: It is used to make implicit comparisons:

  • You must lower your flag and reef your sails to wait for the dull sailors.<em>( The sailors are the students in this case)</em>

3. Personification: It is used to give human characteristics to unanimated    beings.

  • Nature loves analogies but not repetitions

4. Metonimy: It is used to develop a relation with a general meaning

  • In this world of hurry and distraction.                                                <em>(World refers to some situations in everyday life)</em>

5. Symbolism: It is used to signify ideas giving symbolic meanings that are different from their literal meanings

  • The whole theory of the school is on the nurse’s or mother’s knee  <em>(The theory of school depends on the mother because children learn from her, but it is not literally on her body)</em>

jonny [76]
During a lecture in class I was talking to my best friend about our argument yesterday. The bell rang and I hadn’t been able to take the notes necessary for our Unit Test. I came to class the next day and did really bad on our test. By not paying attention I was able to negatively effect my grade. Since that day I began to pay more attention in class.
