What effect does a poet hope to have on the reader when using a metaphor? a. the poet is trying to make the theme more difficult to understand. b. the poet is hoping to confuse the reader. c. the poet is trying to get the reader to make a comparison. d. the poet is hoping the reader will take the words literally.

The correct answer is C. The poet is trying to get the reader to make a comparison.

Explanation:

The metaphor is one of the figures of speech more commonly used in poetry, in this, the poet compares two ideas, concepts, etc. by naming one to refer to the other for example "You are my sunshine" is a metaphor in which a person is described using an object (sunshine) and a comparison is established between both. Due to this, metaphors are part of figurative language, which means they should not be understood literary. Also, the main purpose of using metaphors is to show the similarities between to ideas to create a comparison between them. Considering this, it can be concluded the effect the poet expects when using a metaphor is that "The poet is trying to get the reader to make a comparison".

if this isnt a true or false than they have equal amount of importants

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !
