It's a nonessential word, clause, or sentence added to an already grammatically complete sentence. It's most commonly set off by brackets, but it can also be set off by commas or dashes. 

Example:
My mother went to the supermarket and picked up some strawberries (my favorite fruit) earlier today.

Select two examples of how Naomi Shihab Nye uses metaphors in the poem, "Making a Fist." (Check all that apply)
34kurt

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."
