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.

1. attention. If you took the "of" out piece would work better probably.
2. well I would use roof. It is a common expression in my vocabulary. Like Silver is going to go through the roof, meaning its price will rise.

I'm going to leave this. I'll come back in about an hour to edit it. These are all idiomatic expressions. The second choice might be just as good as the first choice, but it is not what is commonly used.

3. The expression is brand names. The expression makes no comment about quality of content.

4. Impression. You are expressing an opinion about the content of a show.

5. Short lived. That is just what the expression is. Other choices mean the same thing but they are not common usage.

6. eye, but the usual expression is lime light. Eye is the next best choice.
