What does this metaphor mean?

English

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!

Answer:

The Assumption Song

Explanation:

There was an old farmer who lived on a rock

He sat in the meadow just shaking his fist

At some boys who were down by the crick

Their feet in the water, their hands on their marbles

And play things and at half past four

There came a young lady she looked like a pretty young creature

She sat on the grass

She pulled up her dress and she showed them her rumples

And laces and white fluffy duck

She said she was learning a new way to bring

Up her children so they would not spit

While the boys in the barnyard were shoveling refuse

And litter from yesterday's hunt

While the girl in the meadow was rubbing her eyes

At the fellow down by the dock

He looked like a man with a sizable home

In the country with a big fence out front

If he asked her politely she'd show him her little

Pet dog who was subject to fits

And maybe she'd let him grab hold of her small

Tender hands with a movement so quick

And then she'd lean down to suck on his candy

So tasty made of butterscotch

And then he spread whipped cream all over her cookies

That she had left out on her shelf

If you think this is dirty

You can go **** yourself

A person who gets so involved in the particulars that she misses the main point is demonstrating an example of a factual distraction.

Factual listening distractions occur when a listener is more focused on locating facts than on main points.

Factual distractions result from our tendency to listen for specifics rather than the underlying ideas or feelings of the communication. As a result, we are unable to see the "full image" of the message.

It's crucial to pay attention to the major points at all times. We shouldn't take things too seriously, and we shouldn't let our prejudices keep us from listening. Therefore, an example of a factual distraction is someone who is so obsessed with the details that she misses the main concept.
