Blank 1: Such things as we cannot give away, and have not the courage to destroy, we stack in the garret.
Then, as we breathe more freely in the clear space that we have made for ourselves, we grow aware that we must not relax our vigilance.
Blank 2: I suppose we all go through a phase when we like things best; and not only like them, but want to possess them under our hand. The passion for accumulation is upon us. We make "collections," we fill our rooms, our walls, our tables, our desks, with things, things, things.

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.
"

"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.

'I wish. But just so you know... Salvation comes for everyone.'
