Question

As I read away, I was Rapunzel, or the Goose Girl or the Princess Labam in one of the Thousand and One Nights who mounted the roof of her palace every night and of her own radiance faithfully lighted the whole city just by reposing there, and I daydreamed I could light Davis School from across the street. In the excerpt above, what form of figurative language does the author use?

Answer 1

The author is very detailed, uses imagery and personification

Answer 2

Answer:

Imagery

Explanation:

Imagery is the use of vivid, descriptive and figurative language that is employed by an author in order to paint a picture in the reader's mind. In this excerpt, we learn that the speaker is a girl with a very powerful imagination. In order to convey how imaginative the girl is, the author provides some examples. We learn that the girl imagines herself as a fictional character living a great variety of adventures. These images are particularly vivid due to the descriptive language that the author employs.
