are these two metaphors?

[kindaichiXXX]

. .climb into Jem's skin and walk around in it...putting his life's history on display for the edification of the neighborhood.

are these two metaphors? my teacher said it is, but i dont understand

[magimagicE]

Yes, but they can be a bit subtle.

The first uses clothing as a metaphor, whilst the second uses a painting (or work of art) as a metaphor. Can you see why?

Now tell me what these metaphors describe:

1. ________ are ships of the desert.

2. ________ plough their way through the oceans.

Well, yes, to me the first one is talking about pain, you know? is like to say swimming in her skin.

And the second one I understand is talking about someone that is using his experience to get the environment he want.
