Answer:

The meaning:

This is a metaphor to express that flowers were so beautiful and vibrant that they seemed to be jewels gleaming under the sun

Explanation:

Let's remember that metaphors are used to make comparison; a metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object to which it is not literally acceptable.

In this case, for example, flowers are not capable of gleaming, but the comparison with the shining jewels under the sun is made in order to express how beautiful, vibrant and shining they were.

Flowers were so vibrant it was like they were glistening under the light of the sun!

How does Linda’s grandmother shame Dr. Flint?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Linda's remark that the candelabra will probably be handed down from generation to generation underscores the fact that Linda's family has been denied a family legacy. This issue is compounded when Dr. Flint not only refuses to repay Linda's grandmother, but he sells her instead of the candelabra for a mere $50.

Write an argumentative essay in which you state and defend a claim about whether Dr. Jekyll is responsible for the crimes commit
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

In the final chapter, Jekyll's letter highlights one of the main themes of the novel, the dual nature of man. It is this concept that caused him to pursue his disastrous experiments that led to his downfall. Hyde, the personification of Jekyll's purely evil characteristics, revels in the freedom of an anonymous existence. Although he successfully distills his evil side, Jekyll still remains a combination of good and evil. Thus, when transforming back and forth, his evil side grows stronger and more powerful after years of repression, and is able to take over completely. In this way, Jekyll's experiments are the opposite of what he hoped. Interestingly, as is repeatedly mentioned throughout the novel, Hyde is a small man often called dwarfish, while Jekyll is a man of large stature. Thus, the reader is left to assume that Jekyll's evil side is much weaker and less developed than his good side. However, appearances can be deceiving. In fact, Hyde's strength far out powers Jekyll's.

In his letter, Jekyll clearly states that he felt no guilt about Hyde's actions, as "Henry Jekyll stood at times aghast before the acts of Edward Hyde, but the situation was apart from ordinary laws, and insidiously relaxed the grasp of conscience. It was Hyde, after all, and Hyde alone, that was guilty." To the reader, this explanation seems ridiculous, because Hyde is in fact part of Jekyll, and a being that Jekyll created. Therefore, clearly Jekyll is responsible for the man's actions.
