A metaphor would be a figure of speech which makes an implicit or hidden comparison between two things that are unrelated but share common traits.
Example: the assignment was a piece of cake (which would mean the assignment was easy)
So comparing your family you could say they are a team cause they support you, or tree cause they are your roots I can't think of anything else but you get the idea!
If the sentence in question is a statement (ends with a period), I would probably "however" as your transition word.
Answer:
Holiday Diary: Monday We (arrived) in the middle of a thunderstorm at one in the morning. I (took) the tent out of the car and (tried) to pitch, only to then (realised) that we had forgotten the pegs. The kids’ faces (stared) at me through the car’s streaked windows as the dogs sit beside them. Three-quarters of an hour later I finally (managed) to wake the site’s shop owner, bought some spare pegs and got us all under canvas. The forecast, typically, is for rain all week. Good old summer!
Explanation:
- arrive - arrived.
- take - took.
- try - tried.
- realise - realised.
- stare - stared.
- manage - managed.
Hope it helps.
In my opinion, what identifies a key characteristic is how the characters use traits.
There is no phrase in bold
