Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell's father influenced her future career as a doctor. Both for financial reasons and because her father wanted to help abolish slavery, the family moved to America when Elizabeth was 11 years old. Her father, Samuel Blackwell, influenced her life as a doctor because her father exerted a positive and caring attitude towards his children. He rejected punishing his children physically. Instead, their misdemeanors were written down and added up. He also wanted to help abolish slavery and he was very positive. He wished to help people and make it equal for everyone. Elizabeth was probably influenced by his positivity and outlook on the world.

The mood (or tone) of the prologue is considered as sombre, dark, macabre... since from the start we're being told that this story is going to be a story of love, death and loss.
These lines are an example of enjambment. We can tell this because the sentence does not end with the line of poetry but instead carries over to the next lines.
This is not example of a metaphor because the comparison uses the word "like." This selection, then, illustrates both enjambment and simile.
