An example to help you get started that you may use:
There are a a number of similies and metaphors in “Mending Wall,” “The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock,” and “What Lips My Lips have Kissed, Where, and Why.” Two metaphors appear in line 24 of “Mending Wall.” “He is all pine and I am apple orchard” is part of the of the narrator’s argument that a wall is not neccessary. Full of “mischief,” the narrator explains this to the neighbor and asks him to elaborate on the long believed aphorism, “Good fences make good neighbors.” But the neighbor declines. So, in line 30, the narator uses a similie to playfully describe the neighbor as a tradition loving troglodyte. “I see him there . . . like an old-stone savage.” Note: Explain why the narrator would call his neighbor a caveman or “old stone-savage.”
