An extended metaphor is a metaphor that compares two unlike objects without using like or as, but unlike a metaphor it continues throughout the story to help develop the theme. The man with the umbrella in Sorrentino's "There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" is an example of an extended metaphor and he helps convey the central theme. The theme, in this case, is to not take for granted what you have because like your annoying siblings or overbearing parents you may not appreciate them in the moment but without them one would be completely devastated. The narrator also feels this way about the man with the umbrella since he hates and despises him at first but as time goes on, " I have recently come to the realization that I couldn't live without those blows." according to the text. Essentially, the audience realizes that you must not take even the things you despise for granted because in the end you will greatly miss it.

This is plagiarized so you should change a couple sentences and words so it doesn’t look that way.

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.

(1) fire extended humans’ geographical boundaries by allowing them to travel into regions that were previously too cold to explore. (2) it also kept predators away, allowing early humans to sleep securely. (3) fire, in fact, has been a significant factor in human development and progress in many ways. (4) other obvious benefits of fire are its uses in cooking and in hunting. (5) probably even more important, however, is that learning to control fire allowed people to change the very rhythm of their lives. (6) before fire, the human daily cycle coincided with the rising and setting of the sun. (7) with fire, though, humans gained time to think and talk about the day’s events and to prepare strategies for coping with tomorrow. the sentence that expresses the main idea is: (type the number of the sentence. then click “go.”)
