Question

the paper is tissue thin and edged with gold flutters in my hand like a bird desperate to escape,what literary term is used in this sentence.

Answer 1

This phrase ‘a bird in the hand’ means the person has received or already has something valuable. It also means to have something little than the promised. In other words, if you have a bird in the hand, do not chase after the two birds in the bush, or you may lose the one you already have. It is because there may not be two in the bush, and the illusion of the two may deceive you
