Question

Which part of this excerpt from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is an example of metaphor?

I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.

Answer 1

courage is a man with a gun in his hand

Answer 2

The correct answer is "Courage is a man with a gun in his hand."

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt from "To Kill a Mockingbird," Lee seeks to condemn the association of the use of firearms with bravery.

To do this, she uses a metaphor to express how everyone understands the concept of "courage": as a man with a gun in his hand.
