Metaphors are used to represent the appearence of the snake. They create the meaning of a rough skinned, black and ribbed snake. The snake is similar to the appearence of a rounded tire. This gives the reader an imagination of what the snake looks like. Similes are also used in this poem to give a clear picture of the position of the snake. It appears the black snake looks very light and limp.
As the hare fell asleep, he saw the tortoise so far back he was a speck of green. As he slept, he dreamed of him racing across the finish line with the tortoise lagging so far behind he could not be seen. As he crossed the finish line, all the animals congratulated him.
