The simile can be seen in the sentence “Only today I wish I didn’t have just eleven years rattling inside me like pennies in a tin Band-Aid box.”
The metaphor, in turn, can be seen in the sentence “I can't stop the little animal noises from coming out of me….”
<h3>What are simile and metaphor?</h3>
- They are figures of speech.
- They are figures of speech that allow comparisons to be made.
- The simile is an explicit comparison made with the words "as" or "like."
- The metaphor is an implicit comparison and is made subjectively, requiring the reader's interpretation.
In the simile presented in Cisneros' "Eleven", we can see how the narrator compares the eleven years old with the coins in a safe. This comparison reinforces the idea that a person's age is the sum of all their previous ages. This shows the reader that the narrator is aware of her personality construction and the formation of who she should be over the years.
The metaphor, in turn, compares the girl's cry with the sound of animals. This shows how desperately, wildly, gutturally she cried, like a small child.

Answer:
C. "That year [1999] was the first time I saw snow. I played in the
wondrous white stuff until my fingers and toes were frozen," wrote
the author.
Explanation:
A. is not the right answer. The verb is the key part of the sentence and can’t be put in the explanation in the brackets. If there is no verb, the sentence without brackets couldn’t be complete.
B. is not the right answer. Snow is mentioned in the first sentence of the speech, therefore it is implied that “wondrous white stuff” is snow, which means there is no need for explanation in the brackets.
<u>C. is the right answer.</u> <u>In this case, the information in the brackets simply completes the initial sentence, giving the readers fuller knowledge of the matter.</u> Yet, the sentences would work on their own even without the information in the brackets. <u>Brackets and the information between them only serve to explain to us what “that year” means for the author.</u>
D. is not correct. The brackets saying I refer to the author are not needed here, as that is explained by the “wrote the author” at the end.
