read the following excerpt from "notes of a native son" by james baldwin:
once this disease is contracted, one can never be really
carefree again, for the fever, without an instant's warning,
can recur at any moment. it can wreck more important
things than race relations. there is not one negro alive
who does not have this rage in his blood - one has the
choice, merely, of living with it consciously or surrendering
to it.
which statement best explains how the use of figurative language conveys
