The lines that contain metaphors are:


1)“My thoughts of you are golden coins”


2) “Stamped in the mint of memory”


A metaphor is a literary device that makes an implicit comparison between unrelated items or ideas. Despite of the fact that they seem to differ in many respects, there is a hidden connection between them. It differs from others figures of speech; namely Simile as it refers to an explicit comparison (use of “like” or “as”) that is established between to ideas or items.

In this particular poem, the author says that her thought is a very valuable treasure to her, especially because they are related to a special person to her. For this reason, the author makes a comparison between her thoughts and the treasured golden coins. Then, she continues adding another metaphor. She says that these precious memories will never disappear as they kept in her memory as golden coins are safe and properly stored in a mint.

balu736 [363]

The point of view presented in the text is the first-person point of view.

<h3>Why is this the first-person point of view?</h3>
  • The first-person point of view is one where a character in the story becomes the narrator.
  • This character begins to tell his own story, showing what he has seen, what he knows, and his own thoughts and emotions.

A very simple way to understand this kind of point of view is to identify pronouns. This is because the first-person point of view uses personal pronouns like "I," "my" and "mine."
