Answer:
Henry Louis Gates, Jr. was a highly educated writer. He wrote the essay called "In the Kitchen". In the script, he talks about his mother doing hair in the kitchen. The "kitchen" doesn't actually refer to a kitchen where someone would cook food. The "kitchen" is the area on the back of the head where "our neck meets the shirt collar". As Gates goes on to say, no one nor thing could straighten the kitchen. Gates begins to describe a political significance to hair by speaking of the "good" and "bad" hair. Gates attitude towards the "kitchen" is quite negative as he does not like the politics of it. They [people in general] consider white hair good hair.

The line that states, "courage is a man with a gun in his hand." It is a metaphor because Lee is not comparing courage to a man with a gun with "like" or "as." Instead, she uses "is", as if she is enforcing the fact that courage IS a man with a gun. That kind of bluntness is only in a metaphor, as the author gives no room for debate.
<span>A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson was a work of writing by Mary Rowlandson about the author's experience as a captive during King Phillip's War. Rather than give a detailed, accurate account of her experiences, Rowlandson wrote vividly, appealing to emotions and emphasizing individual experience. Her purpose was to explore the relationship between individuals and God, or between the real world and the spiritual world; this was the Puritan literary tradition.</span>
