Examples of Metaphor:
The broken vase is a metaphor for a broken marriage.
"I see it right away: the marble end table collapsed on top of its spindly black legs... 'Fallen down,' she says simply...
'It doesn't matter,' I say and I started to pick up the broken glass shards. 'I knew it would happen.'
'Then why don't stop it?' asks my mother. (Page 180)
