Answer:
Two examples of metaphor extended in the book mentioned in the question above can be seen in the paragraphs:
- "I do not so much write a book as sit up with it, as with a dying friend. During visiting hours, I enter its room with dread and sympathy for its many disorders. I hold its hand and hope it will get better.
"
-
"People love pretty much the same things best. A writer looking for subject inquires not after what he loves best, but after what he alone loves at all.
"
Explanation:
The metaphor is presented as a comparison of a subjective nature between two things that do not look alike, but that have related elements. The metaphor is made in a single sentence, but the extended metaphor, as the name already says, is the same subjunctive comparison that extends over many sentences within a paragraph and even many paragraphs.
In "The writing life" by Annie Dillard we can see two examples of metaphor extended in the following paragraphs:
- "I do not so much write a book as sit up with it, as with a dying friend. During visiting hours, I enter its room with dread and sympathy for its many disorders. I hold its hand and hope it will get better.
"

Read the passage from "How Should One Read a Book?”
Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning.
The reader can conclude that the passage comes from a(n)
biography.
essay.
myth.
play.
Answer:
Essay
Explanation:
An essay is a well written piece of writing that mainly deals with a single subject.
The reader can conclude that the passage comes from an essay because it has a single clear central idea which is books and how we should read them and is making an argument which are important qualities of an essay.
Furthermore, the passage cannot be a biography because it is not talking about the life of someone, nor is it a myth as it discusses real issues, neither is it a play because there are no actors or a stage.
