WHAT IS THE METAPHOR?!

English
1 answer:
ololo11 [35]2 years ago
8 0

The mirror metaphorically compares itself to a lake in the first instance. Despite the comparison appearing to be explicit, the verb "to be" (in this case, "am") actually hides the comparison rather than revealing it.

  • Despite the fact that the poem uses a variety of metaphors, the metaphor involving the mirror predominates. This is not your typical metaphor, though; it's more accurately a personification: The mirror is being compared to humans, but it is more significant that it has been given human characteristics: The mirror is faithful, observes, mediates, and is honest. You could also use the candles and moon, which are compared to liars, to support your position (line 12).
  • The second illustration contrasts a woman's reflection with that of a fish. This example is a simile because it includes the word "like." Similes are comparisons that use the words "like," "as," "than," or "resembles," but they can also be inserted into sentences without those modifiers.

Thus this is the metaphor in the poem.

sveticcg [70]

The narrator's grandfather's statement is true. If the director had decided that he would not give the jacket to Marta, it would have been an injustice and an underestimation of her effort.

<h3>Why wasn't earning the Jacket a question of money?</h3>
  • Because the jacket should be earned with academic performance.
  • Because the jacket was given to the student who had good grades.
  • Because the jacket was a reward for the student's effort.

Martha was a very dedicated student. She struggled to only get A's in all school activities so she could earn the jacket she's wanted all her life.

However, just as she could get the jacket, the principal changed the school's rules and stated that she had to pay 15 dollars to receive it. He did this because he knew Marta's family wouldn't pay the money and he wanted to give the jacket to another girl whose father was a local businessman.

Marta asked her grandfather for the money, but he said he wouldn't pay because the jacket shouldn't be given for money, but for dedication.

Marta knew it was true and that giving the jacket to another student was a very wrong and unfair attitude.
