One example of a metaphor in The Light In The Forest is:
"An ancient sycamore tree stood at the forks, one dead limb pointing to the gloomy trail to Pennsylvania. On the far side, a live branch pointed to the path running bright and free to home."
Tree limbs cant actually point. An inanimate object is given life. The tree is echoing True Son's feelings. One branch represents the path True Son does not want to go towards. The path that will lead him to his white family. The other branch points back towards him home. The dead limb is the path True Son does not want to go on. The live limb is the path that he desperately wants to take.
