The Art Metaphor

INSTRUCTIONS:

three short paragraphs  describing these past few months of civil and political unrest in our country leading up to the Presidential Inauguration this year, all amidst a raging pandemic.  USe at least ten apt and powerful metaphors. Note: There are two types of metaphors - 1.  One is when two dissimilar things are compared directly without using "like" or "as."  So, for example, you might say, "She is a lovely flower."  Or, you might hear someone say, "He is a free bird now."You are comparing a person to a flower or a bird, and the unspoken connections are beauty and freedom, respectively. 2.  The second type of metaphor is a broader, implied comparison where two dissimilar things are compared in a more roundabout way.  For example, you could say, "The heart of the city was broken after the police brutality that led to George Floyd's death."  The city is compared to a person whose heart is broken.  Or, you could say, "The fires of rebellion were stoked by police who caused more violence, and blamed the protesters."  Rebellion is compared to fires.
