Writing a Shakespearean Sonnet

Question 6 • DBN LA 2-CR

How might the writer revise line 13 to include a metaphor?

Answer
A
At night we’re stealthy birds of prey, we fly
B
We skate all day and sleep all night, we fly
C
At night we glide like birds of prey, we fly

Explanation

A metaphor describes one thing as another without using “like” or “as.” Choice A calls “we” stealthy birds of prey, so it uses a metaphor. Choice C uses “like,” making it a simile, while choice B does not compare the skaters to anything.
