"i am as confident as i am that god governs the world that america will never be happy till she gets clear of foreign dominion. wars without ceasing will break out till that period arrives, and the continent must in the end be conqueror; for though the flame of liberty may sometimes cease to shine, the coal can never expire."

paine uses metaphor to demonstrate that
the colonists will never know true joy.
the fight for independence is never-ending.
the concept of freedom will never cease to exist.
britain will never stop pursuing control of the colonies.

Did Paine say that about England?

The correct answer is the fight for independence is never-ending.

Explanation:

Metaphor is a rhetorical device. It is a type of comparison (different from the simile) and it is implicit, implied or hidden. The two things compared are usually unrelated but share some common characteristics.

In this case, Thomas Paine uses this device to show that the fight for independence is never ending, especially at the end when the speaker says "the flame of liberty may sometimes cease to shine, the coal can never expire."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

onto a large boat, and mark the water level that the boat sinks to. then, take the elephant out and put a bunch of marked weights onto the boat until it reaches the same water level. add up the masses of the weights to get the weight of the elephant.
