Answer:
All students at Elmwood Elementary School were relatively normal. Apart from one that is— A sixth grader by the name of Jackson Bean would constantly find himself in trouble. He'd act out during class and was a terrorizer to other students ever since Kindergarten. This made teachers and students alike wonder about his life at home, but none could extract such information from him. The first day of a new school year, all was normal, Jackson had been threatening an innocent classmate when he had noticed there was someone new. She was a nice person, polite and respectful to everyone she spoke to. Jackson had never seen someone who looked like her— he thought she was beautiful. When she introduced herself to him, ignoring what the others said about him, the boy couldn't find it in himself to call her names or slap her. Jackson instead made an offer to show her around, to which she accepted happily. An act in an effort to change, the other students and teacher knew not, but one thing was for certain: They were relieved the nice girl wouldn't have to go through what they had with him and maybe, <em>just maybe</em>, she could help him.

Answer:
An extended metaphor is a metaphor that compares two unlike objects without using like or as, but unlike a metaphor it continues throughout the story to help develop the theme. The man with the umbrella in Sorrentino's "There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" is an example of an extended metaphor and he helps convey the central theme. The theme, in this case, is to not take for granted what you have because like your annoying siblings or overbearing parents you may not appreciate them in the moment but without them one would be completely devastated. The narrator also feels this way about the man with the umbrella since he hates and despises him at first but as time goes on, " I have recently come to the realization that I couldn't live without those blows." according to the text. Essentially, the audience realizes that you must not take even the things you despise for granted because in the end you will greatly miss it.
