Read the excerpt from Spencer's narrative.
I could not have been more stunned. "He" was a "she"! Our new football coach was a female.
My mind drifted to that day last week. We had all been waiting in the locker room to meet our new coach, secretly wondering what he would be like. Would he be tough but fair? Would he be demanding but understanding? Would he motivate us before each game with a rousing speech the way Coach Jackson always had? These thoughts were abruptly interrupted when our new coach entered the locker room, stood before us, and commanded our attention.
Spencer decided to structure his narrative to start at the end. How did this affect his arrangement of the plot?

Writing requires a lot of attention and knowledge, not only of grammar, but also of the coherence of the sentences within a text and the structure that these sentences form, being able to transmit an understandable message to the reader. Effective and efficient writing should refrain from Run-on sentences that leave writing completely without coherence and cohesion because it does not link one sentence to another in a fluid and correct way, leaving the text disorganized and making the reading uncomfortable and inconclusive. Efficient writing must also refrain from fragments sentences that are incomplete sentences, which do not have the capacity to conclude a thought and transmit a tangible message to the reader.

Explanation:
A metaphor is a figure of speech that allows the author of a text to present an implicit comparison between two elements. In a poem, this metaphor will be used in one or a few lines, but it will not be extended throughout the text, unless this is an extended metaphor. The extended metaphor expands the comparison to a long piece of text, or to the full text. In this case, the concept presented by the comparison is repeated throughout the text at different times, always pointing to the same subject. In the poem "The Caged Bird" written by Maya Angelou, we can see examples of the metaphor extended in the lines "downstream floats," "the trade winds soft" and "dawn-bright lawn," all of which reinforce the sense of freedom.
