Answer 7

in painting people choose acrylic over oil because they like the way it looks. An author will add metaphors to make the work appeal more to his readers and connect a complex feeling to something they would understand.

Answer 9

i'll take the blame for the sassy remarks, but it was sitting there and i had to pounce


notice how i didn't actually pounce. This is a good use of a metaphor to explain to the reader the eagerness I expressed in achieving a witty line.
