Question

Seasons are celebrations. A year's a Ferris wheel. Both honor our world's habit of spinning 'round a star. In the first line of the poem, the poet is using a
a. metaphor.
b. simile.
c. bias.
d. loaded word.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) metaphor. Metaphor is just comparison without using 'as', or 'like', so it is a shortened simile. Instead of saying 'a years is like a Ferris wheel', you can just say that without 'like', and the meaning will be the same. The whole line is a metaphor, so symbolic meaning of something else.
