This is a very specific question, and it might be easier to answer it completely yourself, but I can give a bit of help!

These metaphors are negative ones, and the question is essentially asking, 'Which groups in society or at your school are targeted and made fun of?'

How it's received could be written from the group's POV, explaining how hurtful it is to attack a group, especially if it's doing nothing wrong. What could be done to change it-- well, a common thing is to increase awareness about the topic the group is representing.

I can't really give any specific examples without getting too political, but I do hope this helps you develop one!

question:

#1: what is the simile that occurs in lines 43-47 (below)? give exact words for just the simile. #2: explain what frost means by this comparison.

it's when i'm weary of considerations, and life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig's having lashed across it open

answer to question #1: the simile that occurs in the text given (lines 43-47) is: ''life is too much like a pathless ''

explanation: a simile is a comparison of one thing with another thing and it is used to make a vivid description. it uses like or as. in the text, we can understand that the person is feeling weary of considerations and because of this, the person compares ''life'' to ''a pathless wood''.

answer to question #2: in this text we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations and compares life to a pathless wood.

explanation: the word frost means coldness and something covered by ice crystals but looking at the comparison made in this text, we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations therefore he/she compares life to a pathless wood.
