Read these lines from “Some Advice to Those Who Will Serve Time in Prison” and think about the underlined metaphor.

I mean, it’s not that you can’t pass

ten or fifteen years inside

and more—

you can,

as long as the jewel

on the left side of your chest doesn’t lose its luster!

What does the metaphor compare?

• a jewel and prison

• a jewel and freedom

• a jewel and a person

• a jewel and the heart

Read these lines from “Some Advice to Those Who Will Serve Time in Prison,” and think about the meaning of the underlined words.

Part of you may live alone inside,

like a stone at the bottom of a well.

But the other part

must be so caught up

in the flurry of the world

that you shiver there inside

when outside, at forty days’ distance, a leaf moves.

What do the underlined words mean?

• A prisoner who lives alone in a small prison cell knows that sooner or later someone will come to get water and save him or her.

• A prisoner who lives alone in a small prison cell should see himself or herself as living at the center of the world, surrounded by life and all things natural.

• A prisoner who lives alone in a small prison cell may as well be at the bottom of a well because both places are damp, wet, and dark holes.

• A prisoner who lives alone in a small prison cell may feel cut off or disconnected from life outside, completely enclosed within his or her isolation.
