Literary Devices and Figures of Speech

Autobiography

If you are asking about the meaning of the expression "worthy of praise," it refers to a person (it can refer to an idea too, but we usually see it applied to a person) who is deserving of our respect and admiration for having done something very positive. For example, "Mahatma Gandhi is worthy of praise for defending the rights of the Untouchables in India." In some older books, you might see this expression as an adjective, "praise-worthy," but it is not commonly used in speech these days.

yes. Because it gives human traits to a nonpersonens

Oh, what a lovely question! In "Life as we knew it," you'll find beautiful examples of figurative language like similes comparing the moon to a silver coin, metaphors describing the sun as a golden blanket, and personification giving emotions to inanimate objects. These literary devices add depth and color to the story, just like adding happy little trees to a painting.

That would be captaincy.

Contradiction is an extreme form of contrast, and may be used to establish different viewpoints or comparisons of inference. It may more properly be a paradox (irreconcilable statement).

Examples:

Bill was his best friend and the two fought often.

Their house in the desert had been flooded on several occasions.

He was so extremely helpful that no one wanted him around.

The comparative form is "more foolish", and the superlative form is "most foolish".

Hmmm. If you don't know what the word means, you surely can't use it in a sentence. Consult a dictionary for the definition.

When you read you become part of the book, and the book becomes part of you. Your imagination makes the characters and plot real. Reading is a totally personal pursuit that not only provides understanding and structure of language, it enables dreams and abstract thought. Films and computer generated media are passive entertainment requiring no effort and therefore no imagination.

The above does not answer your question.

Younger minds are more capable of absorbing information and recalling said information. That is why it is best to learn a foreign language at a young age as well.

The top does answer the question.

Absorbing and recalling are purely mechanical abilities,(you can be educated beyond your intelligence) understanding what has been read requires abstract thought and imagination, something a younger, unpolluted, mind has in abundance. Learning anything, included languages is best started young, but that was not what was asked in the initial question.
