sperately wanted him to attend college and acquire a high-paying job, while he wanted to go to art school and make his living as an artist.

Answer:

B) metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that refers to another thing by not directly naming it, but rather using a word or phrase. There is usually a similarity between the word or a phrase used and the idea that is behind it.

When excerpt talks about "different blueprints" for achieving Alexander's happiness, it uses the <u>metaphor of a </u><em><u>blueprint </u></em><u>instead of direct words that could be</u><em> idea, plan, concept.</em>

<u>Blueprint is used as a metaphor for an outline of plans for the future that Alexander should take in order to achieve the feeling of happiness. </u>

As blueprint is a form of technical drawing presented on the light-sensitive sheet that drafts the plan of a certain project, it is a good metaphor for the sketched idea each character had in their mind.
