Explanation:

1. For "While I grew up with a grass - is - always - greener attitude deeming things outside of my household better":

• Figurative language: Idiom (grass - is - always - greener).
• Author's meaning: The author had a tendency to think that other people's lives or situations were better than their own.
• Author's purpose: To convey a common human trait of dissatisfaction with one's own circumstances.

1. For "I couldn't see past the ocean of sails as the women crowded around":

• Author's meaning: Her eyes were very bright and sparkling like diamonds.

1. For the tone chart: Without the actual paragraphs, it's hard to determine accurately. But in general, to find the tone:

• Look for words with positive, negative, or neutral connotations. For example, if a paragraph has words like "wonderful", "amazing", it may be positive. Words like "terrible", "awful" suggest a negative tone, and words that just state facts without emotion are neutral.

1. For the summary of "L'Amour, Maybe Not" using "Somebody Wanted But So Then":

• Somebody: Let's say a character in the story.
• Wanted: Wanted to find true love.
• But: But faced various obstacles like misunderstandings or competing interests.
• So: So they had to make difficult decisions and navigate through complex emotions.
• Then: Then they either found a new perspective on love or came to a realization about their own desires. A sample summary could be: "A character in 'L'Amour, Maybe Not' wanted to find true love. But they faced misunderstandings and competing interests in their social circle. So they had to carefully consider their options and deal with their complex emotions. Then they started to see love in a new light and realized what they truly wanted in a relationship."
