The extended metaphors that can be interpreted as part of the excerpt that represents freedom are "floats downstream, the trade winds soft, and the dawn-bright lawn."
How did the extended metaphor represent freedom?
A metaphor is a figure of speech that allows a writer to make an implied comparison between two parts of a text.
This metaphor will appear in one or a few lines in a poem, but it will not be utilized throughout the text unless it is an extensive metaphor.
The expanded metaphor broadens the parallel to a longer text or the entire text.
In this scenario, the comparison's premise is repeated several times throughout the paragraph, always referring to the same subject.
We may find examples of the metaphor expanded in the lines "downstream floats," "the trade winds gentle," and "dawn-bright lawn" in Maya Angelou's poem "The Caged Bird," all of which enhance the sensation of freedom.
