Metaphor is a figure of speech subtlety comparing two different things. It is also used to represent something more than what it actually is.

The above quotation refers to a coat that should be a perfect fit. I think of this as something or a situation that a person finds himself submerged into. One must be involved in something that complements him perfectly. If a situation is not good for such person, he or she must not force it just to make it "fit".

First, I will ask her again if she understood what I said because there may be a language barrier between us. She may have misunderstood, which is why she held her hand out expecting money. If she says she understood what I was asking, I will ask her how much money she wants for the photo and base my final decision on that.

What is one reason subplots are used in novels?
Morgarella [4.7K]

A plot in a story refers to the events which are connected by cause and effort.

Whereas, subplots exist within the main plot as a side story. It never overpowers the main plot but is connected with the main plot. Events that take place outside the main story are described in subplots. Therefore, the purpose of the subplot is to strengthen the main story line.

Therefore, one reason why subplots are used in novels is to develop the novel's theme in more depth.
