DescriptionIn narrative, a motif is any recurring element that has symbolic significance in a story. Through its repetition, a motif can help produce other narrative aspects such as theme or mood. A motif is an element or idea that recurs throughout a work of literature. Motifs, which are often collections of related symbols, help develop the central themes of a book or play. For example, one of the central themes in Romeo and Juliet is that love is a paradox containing many contradictions.
This quarantine sucks the life out of me as much as a leech sucks blood. I have the same amount of freedom as a circus elephant. Being inside all day makes me feel like i’m a prisoner.
idk about metaphors
Was waving
You can say it like:
"Every man was waving a flag"
"Every woman was waving a flag"
"Every child was waving a flag"
It also makes sense to say it in present tense
"Every man is waving a flag"
"Every woman is waving a flag"
It wouldn't make sense to say:
"Every man are waving a flag"
"Every man be waving a flag"
