Which part of this excerpt from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is an example of metaphor?

1 answer:

3 0

The line that states, "courage is a man with a gun in his hand." It is a metaphor because Lee is not comparing courage to a man with a gun with "like" or "as." Instead, she uses "is", as if she is enforcing the fact that courage IS a man with a gun. That kind of bluntness is only in a metaphor, as the author gives no room for debate.

One way an author uses direct characterization is by telling the reader about the character through

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Direct characterization is when the narrator tells you about the traits of the character. For example, the small petty miser counted the money five times to be sure that it was all there. In this example, the narrator directly says that the character is small, petty and miserly. It does not need to be inferred using the rest of the sentence. Indirect characterization is when the author shows the character's traits through the character's speech, thoughts, effects on others, actions, and looks
