Johnny Tremain
which line in the poem contains a metaphor?
1. I sit on the bank in my special place,
2. I feel the breeze that lifts my hair
3. and watch the ripples run across the river
3. it is so peaceful here
5. deep enough to justify a fishing pole
6. quiet enough for my every thought
7. the perfect place to contemplate
8. the world and my place in it
9. Down stream, though, the river changes
10. from the one I know
11. its calm flow reaches tocky shallows
12. and tarts to caper like a kitten
13. darting and chasing shadows among the stones
14. the river leaves shallows at a run
15. rushing faster and faster
16. a woldcat roaing past steep banks
17. and wold, wet rocks
18. it clawa and crashes in a furious flood
19. foaming and spitting as its fury is subdued
20. in the soothing depths of dark, still pools
21. tired and tamed by the journey
22. the river transforms itself again
23. its power abates and it seems to move
24. with deliberation slower and wiser
25. past towns and mark its passing and then
26. go about their buisness
27. one by one towns pass by,
28. and the banks give way
29. to borders of salt-smelling mud marsh
30. without need sensless show of strength
31. the river relaxes like an aging lion
32. done with the hunt and ready for rest
33. the water slows until it reaches its destiny
34. a place not too different from mine
where the water stretches to meet the sky
36. where others just like me use the mirrored stream
37. to fisj and contemplate
38. the world and their place in it.
which line contains a metaphor
25, 18, 16, 6
what can you conclude from the figurative language you identified in the last question
people are afraid of swimming in the river
the river's water are rough under a smooth surface
the water in the river is loud like a roar
the river is moving quickly and becomes rough
I know these have nothing to do with Johnny tremain but could someone help?
