Question

Explain the meaning of the metaphor italicized below in a 6th graders words. Her hair was a glistening raven’s wing that flowed in dark tresses down her back

Answer 1

The metaphor compares her hair to a raven's wing, which is shiny and black. This means her hair is really pretty, dark, and shiny, just like the feathers of a raven, and it looks nice as it falls down her back. It's saying her hair is beautiful and has a special shine to it.
