lala.

PLEASE read ?1?

is this a metaphorrr ?!

It is not surprising, these days, to see a set of them on a child’s dresser in manhattan, held in serparate containers, in a kind of glass bowl parody of the co-op apartment building that surrounds them, each fish furiously pacing its cubic foot of space and waiting for the other to turn up the stereo.

please its urgent ! thanks everyone !

Yes it is. it is comparing the fish/fish bowls to humans and apartments. It is a metaphor instead of a simile because it does not use the words “like” or “as” to compare.

It is a metaphor, because the fish are compared to people living in very small apartments. Do you realize you spelled ‘metaphor’ with three r’s?

However, Manhattan should be capitalized. Separate is misspelled. Glass-bowl should be hyphenated because it modifies parody.

There is also anthropomorphism here. (From Wiki: Anthropomorphism is the attribution of uniquely human characteristics and qualities to nonhuman beings, inanimate objects, or natural or supernatural phenomena.) And there is personification: the fish are made to act like territorial humans in a too-small space.

Thanks for asking. Cheers, K
