Question

Hillenbrand describes flying the B-24 “ is” like wrestling a bear” . What do you think she meant with this simile? What was she trying to compare?

Answer 1

Answer

:One metaphor that Hillenbrand uses to describe the B-24 is: “Flying it was like wrestling a bear, leaving pilots weary and sore” (59). This comparison is effective because wrestling a bear would be extremely difficult, and it’s clear that flying a B-24 is difficult as well. This detail makes the B-24 seem heavy and hard to manage. It helps the reader understand what it would be like to fly and work in a B-24 like Louie does. Hillenbrand uses such details to make it clear even for readers who don’t know what a B-24 is like.
