Metaphor

 The metaphor I got from "The Socks" is that the socks represent the emotions of a person who is in a relationship. First, the speaker "matched" the socks, with show kindness, but then the tone change in the last line as it is more dark and combative as if they were in a fight. I think the socks in the poem represent to the relationship status of a couple.

    Yes, and that is a very close relationship -- as close as socks, and just as warm, but also sometimes smelly. Ee sometimes need a break from close relationships just as we need a break from our socks, don't you think?

 I think the most important thing I have learned in this class is about taking another perspective on an issue. I think many of the stories and poems in the course gave me a new way of looking at events. I got this view from reading "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin. The wife in the story died which appears to be the joy of her husband's return but in fact, it was the loss of her freedom. I did not recognize this the first time I read the story but through some research. I have tried to understand the story from another perspective. I have also learned that literature has a stronger connection to my surrounding life than I thought. Through this course, I have learned to relate my social life and other courses that I learn into literature.
