It is a metaphor because the sentence is comparing two different things without using the word "as" or "like".

I plan to prove that college athletes should be paid to play. This matters because many people going into college play sports and they give up much of their time to do so. The athletes at a college are almost always the first students to arrive and the last to leave the campus. They arrive early to begin training and stay late because of big games. They should be paid because they give up a lot of their time to be at the practices. Some teams practice during class times which can mess up an athlete's academic schedule, others practice late at night when an athlete would want to be doing their homework or hanging out with friends. They should be paid because each win they have they give the college popularity and even perhaps money.
Counter claim: Athletes do not need to be paid because they got a scholarship to come which helps pay for their schooling already.

And she finished her letter with the following phrase:
'God make here a good wooman' (hoping that God helped her and made of her a good person)
