My life is like a river
Sometimes rough and rapid
Longing for some release
Trying to calm the storm
Waiting for the sun to shine overhead
Looking for the rainbow in the sky
My life is like a river
I like the gentle bends
I like the smooth waters
They bring me peace and joy
I do not like the rocks and currents
They are struggles in my life
An extended metaphor is a metaphor that is developed throughout a piece of writing or speech. For example, in Shakespeare's "All the world's a stage" speech from "As You Like It," he compares life to a play, with different "acts" representing different stages of life. This extended metaphor helps to convey the idea that life is like a performance with different roles and scenes.
An extended metaphor is a metaphor that is started early in the work, usually at the beginning, but it can be added later, that evolves and stretches itself throughout the passage. For example if you were to write a paper, and use a road as a metaphor for the path of life, and you were to develop and use this metaphor throughout the paper then it would be an extended metaphor.

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which two dissimilar things are used to make a comparison, but an extended metaphor is a comparison that is continuously being made throughout a written work (more commonly in poetry).
An example of an extended metaphor in "The Yellow Wallpaper" is the narrator's comparison of the wallpaper in her room to a prison or cage. Throughout the story, the deteriorating wallpaper symbolizes the narrator's own mental state and confinement within her oppressive surroundings, creating a sense of entrapment and confinement that mirrors her own psychological deterioration.
When a metaphor is continued throughout several lines of poetry, it is called an extended metaphor. It deepens the meaning and creates a more vivid image or comparison for the reader.

The whole speech is one big extended metaphor. "All the world's a stage . . .", well like a stage anyway. Which is why this is a metaphor.
