The central metaphor in Sylvia Plath's poem "Mushrooms" is that of the mushrooms with women and their rights in general.

A metaphor is a rhetorical device that refers to one thing but means another thing. This means that it is a comparison device that writers use to refer to things in a much rhetorical way.

Sylvia Plath's poem "Mushrooms" is a metaphorical take on women and their fight for equal rights in a patriarchal society. Plath compares mushrooms rising from the ground to that of women and their decision to fight for their rights to be deemed equal. Like mushrooms breaking through the 'constricting' soil to come to the surface, women are also "discreetly, Very quietly" fighting for their rights in a world governed by men. Plath refers to the mushrooms as well as the women as "Perfectly voiceless," but also declared boldly, "Our foot's in the door."

The pattern of the mushrooms trying to get out of the soil and emerge through the cracks, the desire and attempts to be free from the constricting soil are all similar to women and their struggle to be given equal rights with the men.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
