Metaphors are used to represent the appearence of the snake. They create the meaning of a rough skinned, black and ribbed snake. The snake is similar to the appearence of a rounded tire. This gives the reader an imagination of what the snake looks like. Similes are also used in this poem to give a clear picture of the position of the snake. It appears the black snake looks very light and limp. 
        
             
        
        
        
Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered satisfactorily and efficiently. However, I can try to help you by showing you what a dilemma is and thus making it easier for you to find Tom's dilemma in the text you have.
A dilemma is a problem that has two solutions, but the two solutions are contradictory, the two have bad and unsatisfactory results, but it is necessary for Tom to decide and choose one of these solutions, even if that does not make him happy.
