Experiencing and Reliving Vietnam

Question 1 • VT-ACT Reading 26-27

“I’m stone. I’m flesh.”

Answer
A
simile
B
metaphor
C
personification

Explanation

The speaker directly identifies themself as “stone” and “flesh,” using those things figuratively to suggest qualities or parts of their nature. Because the comparison is stated directly without “like” or “as,” it is a metaphor, not a simile. “Stone” and “flesh” are not being given human actions, so this is not personification.
