a metaphor comparing life to a stairway

A metaphor is a comparison between two unlike things without using like or as. There is no like or as in this poem to make the comparison between the narrator and a stairway. In the poem she says, "Life for me ain't been no crystal stair". She compares her life to a stairway. She describes the stairway as having things like tacks, splinters, and torn up boards. These are metaphors for the obstacles she had to overcome in her life.

What is the first thing you should know about a written piece?
eduard

Answer:

C. Its Context.

Explanation:

Before reading or analyzing a written piece of literary work, it is vital to have the background knowledge or the context in mind as it would give a fair idea about the historical setting in which the text is set in and the reasons behind certain actions by different characters throughout the course of the story. Literature is termed as the mirror of the society, thus, it always reflects the society and the happenings of the time it is written in. For example, if we are reading the "Hard Times" of Charles Dickens, we need to have a fair idea about the industrial revolution and its setting as then only we would be able to get the essence of the novel and purpose of writing it. Contextual knowledge would not only help to understand and analyze the text better but also to relate it to the present time and form a perception before applying it to any particular literary theory.

An internal conflict; the protagonist vs. internalized social forces.

The internal conflict can also develop between the protagonist and herself. However, this is not the case here, as she is struggling to overcome the supposed obstacles that others (her family) are imposing upon her. It's not that she doubts her own capabilities or competence; it's that others doubt her capabilities, based on the fact that she is a woman.
