Question

Use figures of speech to explain oranges by gary soto

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two similes in this poem and one metaphor: Candy is described looking “like bleachers” and “Fog” hung “like old Coats between the trees.” These similes help emphasize the images. Soto also uses a metaphor describing an orange as “a fire.” This comparison helps Soto promote the idea of the poem – love.
