One of the stories that I was really interested in was True Love by Sharon Olds. It was interesting how she used metaphors in her story. The story is about a woman in love and she describes her feelings for the man she is in love with deeply throughout the story. How she uses some of the metaphors in the story really caught my eye. For example in line nine and ten it says " I know where you are with my eyes closed, we are bound to each other with huge invisible threads." How can you know where some one is with your eyes closed? I just thought those lines really expressed how she felt. What really left me thinking is the last line of the story because it leaves the reader thinking abd guessing. The last line of the story says " I quietly call to you and you come and hold my hand and I say I cannot see beyond it, I cannot see beyond it." Now what exactly does she mean when she says this? She just spent the whole time telling the reader how much she loves this person and now it seems like sheis trying to explain something else. I believe she is saying she cannot see beyond the momment she is living right now with her lover. It is just my opinion, the last line could have many explanations to it.
