does the writer use a metaphor here to create a creepy mood? from the book 'the graveyard book'

the metaphor 'you could see the moon reflected in them’' the author is describing Jacks / a characters shoes

Respuesta :

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which an object or action is said to be another, to which it is not literally applicable.

Examples:

  • I am feeling blue.
  • It's raining cats and dogs.
  • My heart is broken.

The author isn't trying to 'create a creepy mood' by using a metaphor because the phrase 'you could see the moon reflected in them' isn't a metaphor. It is literally applicable. If the author uses this phrase to describe Jack's or another character's shoes, it probably just means that the shoes are really shiny.
