Answer:
Two examples of metaphor extended in the book mentioned in the question above can be seen in the paragraphs:
- "I do not so much write a book as sit up with it, as with a dying friend. During visiting hours, I enter its room with dread and sympathy for its many disorders. I hold its hand and hope it will get better.
"
-
"People love pretty much the same things best. A writer looking for subject inquires not after what he loves best, but after what he alone loves at all.
"
Explanation:
The metaphor is presented as a comparison of a subjective nature between two things that do not look alike, but that have related elements. The metaphor is made in a single sentence, but the extended metaphor, as the name already says, is the same subjunctive comparison that extends over many sentences within a paragraph and even many paragraphs.
In "The writing life" by Annie Dillard we can see two examples of metaphor extended in the following paragraphs:
- "I do not so much write a book as sit up with it, as with a dying friend. During visiting hours, I enter its room with dread and sympathy for its many disorders. I hold its hand and hope it will get better.
"

were dictated by others such as the court officials, the Japanese and the
Communists. Yet when he became a
citizen, he survived all those losses and learned to adapt to life as an
ordinary person.
Answer:
There’s a man lying down on the pavement over there. Do you think he <u>may/might have hurt</u> himself?
Explanation:
In the second sentence, modal verbs <em>may </em>and <em>might </em>can be used. These verbs are used to express the possibility of something happening.
The constructions <em>may/might + have + past participle</em> and<em> may/might + be + present participle</em> are used to talk about possible events in the past, present, and future. Since the given event took place in the past (the man is now lying on the pavement because he may have hurt himself earlier), the construction with the past participle will be used. That's how we'll get the sentence:
<em>Do you think he </em><u><em>may/might have hurt</em></u><em> himself? </em>
