Perhaps the World Ends Here is an ode that elevates each aspect of life in which the table is involved. The kitchen table takes on a symbolic presence for everyday issues‚ but is the symbolism positive? Depending on observation‚ the poem can take on a sinister tone and rejects the everyday traditions of a patriarchal society. A traditional patriarchal society makes the father of each household the deciding factor on issues and the way that family operates. The table is a metaphor for the home or community

“The Metaphor” Questions 1. The metaphors Charlotte makes for her mother and Miss Hancock are very accurate. Charlotte compares her mother to a “white picket fence” with “thorny bushes and barbed wire” on the other side (72). Charlotte’s mother is a very beautiful person on the outside.

demonstrate a strong and vivid feeling of the air in Darwin; it’s steamy with sweet but also sour smell. The tropical weather of Darwin is created by the use of adjectives. Metaphors and similes are also used to show Paul’s vision of Darwin. “To walk the streets at night was to walk among rows of lined‚ illuminated screens.” The metaphor conveys a vivid image of the wet streets in Darwin after rain. Similes like “As if the leaves were a kind of plastic” and “Like some lush‚ green five o’clock shadow” give

I interpret this poem as a metaphor for life. Way too often we are in a hurry to get through the "dance" that we do not stop and enjoy the music. The small but beautiful things in life are the music.
