Extended+Metaphor+per7

As discussed in class, Irene uses an extended metaphor on pg 116 to symbolize how overwhelmed she feels. Although the event she describes did not literally happen to her, it helps give the reader a better idea of the tremendous pressure that she felt at the time. For this post you need to pick a significant moment in your life and use an extended metaphor to help the reader understand how you were feeling at the time. Use the metaphor at the end of the chapter “Stealing From Rokita” as a model. At the top of the page, write the metaphor and then at the bottom write an explanation of the event that motivated you to write the passage.
