What theme is the main theme of this excerpt from “the metal pig” by hans christian andersen? in the garden of the grand duke's palace, under the roof of one of the wings, where a thousand roses bloom in winter, a little ragged boy had been sitting the whole day long. the boy might serve as a type of italy: lovely and smiling, and yet suffering. he was hungry and thirsty, but no one gave him anything; and when it became dark and they were about to close the gardens, the porter turned him out. a long time he stood musing on the bridge which crosses the arno and looking at the glittering stars that were reflected in the water which flowed between him and the wonderful marble bridge delia trinità. he then walked away towards the metal pig, half knelt down, clasped it with his arms, and, putting his mouth to the shining snout, drank deep draughts of the fresh water. close by lay a few salad leaves and two chestnuts, which were to serve for his supper. no one was in the street but himself. it belonged only to him. he boldly seated himself on the pig's back, leaned forward so that his curly head could rest on the head of the animal, and, before he was aware, fell asleep. it was midnight. the metal pig raised himself gently, and the boy heard him say quite distinctly, "hold tight, little boy, for i am going to run"; and away he started for a most wonderful ride. first they arrived at the piazza del granduca, and the metal horse which bears the duke's statue neighed aloud. a. loneliness b. magic c. hunger d. cruelty

Which one is NOT a metaphor?

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

My family is poor as dirt.

Explanation:

Let us first briefly discuss the metaphor. It's a figure of speech, a sort of indirect comparison where we describe something (an action or an object) in a figurative or symbolic way (not literally), but that way helps us make a connection or comparison between two things.

So, we compare two things, but not because they are similar, but because we want to attribute features of one thing to another and communicate an idea in that manner.

- The world is my stage: of course, the world can not be anyone's stage. The person only metaphorically states that he/she loves the world and feels comfortable in it like a performer on a stage. The person has so much to offer and show to other people as if on a stage.

-Adele has fire in her heart: of course, no one has a fire in his heart, but Adele acts in such manner; she's obviously very passionate, energetic, vital, active, ready to fight for her goals etc.

- Keep your eyes peeled for invaders: again, it's clear that no one will literally peel his eyes, but just as peeling a fruit means opening it, we should open our eyes and pay attention, stay alerted.

Only the first option isn't a metaphor, it's a simple, direct comparison, a simile, which is characterized by words "like", "as", "such as".
