The example of a metaphor in My Forbidden Face is: "Latifa compares the Taliban's oppression to a slow death."
To identify which option is an example of a metaphor in the book "My Forbidden Face," we first need to understand what a metaphor is. A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things by stating one thing is another, without using "like" or "as."
Now let's examine the given options:
1. "Latifa releases the canary from its cage."
This sentence does not contain a metaphor; it is a literal statement describing the action of releasing a canary from a cage.
2. "Latifa compares the Taliban's oppression to a slow death."
This sentence does contain a metaphor. It compares the Taliban's oppression to a slow death, implying that living under the Taliban's rule is similar to experiencing a slow and painful demise.
3. "Latifa quotes specific laws that the Taliban put in place."
This sentence does not contain a metaphor. It describes Latifa quoting specific laws imposed by the Taliban, but it does not involve a comparison between two unlike things.
Therefore, the correct answer would be option 2: "Latifa compares the Taliban's oppression to a slow death."
