Question

Read the passage from “The Caged Bird.” A free bird leaps on the back of the wind and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wing in the orange sun rays and dares to claim the sky. How does the figurative language in this stanza work as part of the extended metaphor?

Answer 1

it creates image of freedom

Answer 2

it crreates images of freedom

Step-by-step explanation:

A metaphor compares two things that are not equal, and an extended metaphor continues the comparison for the rest of the next sentence or sentences. In this poem the extended metaphor has the function of passing a sense of freedom by showing a free bird making its flight with happiness and enjoying the sunlight and the landscape.
