Dream Deferred

Of the six images, five are similes. Which is a metaphor? Comment on its position and its effectiveness.

The last line is the metaphor and all of the other lines that explain what happens to a dream are similes. Using the metaphor at the end was very effective because it makes you wonder whether dreams that are deferred are just lost and gone forever. Its great because its right at the end and it is not a simile, so it is very effective saying that dreams explode. Which means that the dreams are gone and dessinagrated into tiny pieces and are never coming back.
