Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, I think it would do justice to me giving a very short explanation on what a Metaphor is.

A metaphor is a figure of speech that uses a word, often times a phrase, to refer or talk about a word. It states a direct similarity between a word or phrase being used, and the word or phrase being described without using the words "as" or "like."

That being said, I will pick out two of the metaphors in the poem.

1) "my stomach was a melon split wide inside my skin."

2) "I felt the life sliding out of me."

Can anyone help!!! I am to write about personal experiences on social media, I know what to write but I'm struggling on what to
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

One of the many major social media experiences I have endured is one to do with uninvited photography. I felt targeted after a group of my peers in 8th grade insisted on taking pictures of me - these people would whisper behind my back, and I faced anxiety throughout the entire year, both about the pictures, and the rumors spread like a web behind my back.

This time was unpleasant for me, especially since it brought unwelcomed memories of a time in elementary. My friend, who I believed I could trust, decided to make fun of my performance one day after a game. Despite my efforts, my friend disregarded both my pride, and and our bond. I received total backlash, and I can never forget it.

Along with all the criticism I have received in the past, my self worth has equally degraded. Girls on social media are often fit, blonde, tall, etc. Every quality that makes a person "perfect". These posts started to make me question myself, as I compared them to the likes of me. What if I had the same life as them? Would people still make fun of me the way that they did?

Social media has bestowed a great affect upon me, and many others that have faced similar experiences. Though we are told to ignore these kinds of people, as they are fake, it's hard to think that we could do better, or that we don't have as great a life as them.

Explanation:

This is quite literally what I posted in the comments on your other post, but heck, this is basically free points. Hope I helped! Just tell me if you ever need help in the future.
