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.

What exactly are the "perks" of being a wallflower?
slamgirl [31]

It turns out that being a wallflower isn't such a bad thing. Patrick sums up Charlie's wallflower-like nature by saying, "You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand." Staying quiet and simply observing the absurdity that is high school allows a "wallflower" to navigate through this brutal social labyrinth without getting too caught up in the insanity.
