Respuesta :
in Sorrentino’s “There’s a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella” is an example of an EXTENDED METAPHOR
Answer: Extended metaphor
A metaphor is a literary device that compares two unlike things. An extended metaphor follows the same mechanism, but extends the comparison throughout a whole poem or a whole narrative. In this case, the author is using the man hitting a narrator on the head with an umbrella as a metaphor. However, it is an extended metaphor because it is maintained throughout the whole story.
