Answer:

By comparing their aunt to an oyster, the narrator is saying that the aunt is defenceless/an open book.

Explanation:

To understand this metaphor, you first need to understand an oyster. Oysters have hard shells around a soft piece of meat- the shell is protecting the living oyster inside. By saying that the aunt is a little piece of meat on an open shell, the narrator is saying that the aunt's walls are broken down. The aunt has nothing portecting her- she's an open book. Hope this helps- ask if you want me to elaborate any more!

scoray [572]

The correct answer is: Two to three times higher than among elderly, non-Hispanic whites. This is a bit of a sad fact but it is true, African American and Hispanic elders have a higher chance of being poor than non-Hispanic whites. There are many reasons for this phenomenon, but that is for a different discussion.
