my sisters keeper, by jodi picoult pg.15
Answers:
The middle sentence is.
The first sentence isn't saying Kate is a martyr. If it said Kate were a martyr then it would be a metaphor. In this book, Kate does play the role of a martyr in a way. The first sentence is is more of a simile - the word "plays" is saying "Kate is acting like a martyr." The first sentence is not a metaphor.
The second sentence is definitely a metaphor. I'm the lost cause. The character is a person, not a cause (an idea or ideology people believe in.)
When the third sentence says "you're the peacekeeper," that's not a metaphor because in this book you really are the peacekeeper. If it said you were the little ray of sunshine, that would be a metaphor.
You have to say someone IS (not someone plays) something that they are not in order for it to be a metaphor. And it has to be something that the person really is not.
no, a peacekeeper is something that someone could actually be. If you would of said, she is the fire, that would be a metaphor
nope...
"I'm the lost cause" is the only metaphor given there
