two examples of extended metaphor’s in the writing life by Annie Dillard? explain how they work to help understand her writing
Len [333]

Answer:

Two examples of metaphor extended in the book mentioned in the question above can be seen in the paragraphs:

  • "I do not so much write a book as sit up with it, as with a dying friend. During visiting hours, I enter its room with dread and sympathy for its many disorders. I hold its hand and hope it will get better. "
  • "People love pretty much the same things best. A writer looking for subject inquires not after what he loves best, but after what he alone loves at all. "

Explanation:

The metaphor is presented as a comparison of a subjective nature between two things that do not look alike, but that have related elements. The metaphor is made in a single sentence, but the extended metaphor, as the name already says, is the same subjunctive comparison that extends over many sentences within a paragraph and even many paragraphs.

In "The writing life" by Annie Dillard we can see two examples of metaphor extended in the following paragraphs:

  • "I do not so much write a book as sit up with it, as with a dying friend. During visiting hours, I enter its room with dread and sympathy for its many disorders. I hold its hand and hope it will get better. "
  • "People love pretty much the same things best. A writer looking for subject inquires not after what he loves best, but after what he alone loves at all. "
