8. Example: Metaphors Maya Angelou says, “You may trod me in the very dirt/But still, like dust, I'll rise” (3- 4). By lowering herself to the “dirt” and the “dust,” Angelou shows how badly she has been treated by others. However, just like “dust” swirls up all over the earth, she will “rise” again over the people who have tried to bring her down.
