Jonas struggles to understand the Receiver's metaphor of going downhill through deep snow on a sled because he has never experienced such emotions or sensations. The metaphor represents the weight of memories and the burden of knowledge that comes with being the Receiver. Without the context of painful memories or the depth of human experience, Jonas cannot fully grasp the challenges and complexities that accompany the role of the Receiver. This lack of understanding highlights the limitations of his sheltered upbringing in a controlled society.

Yes, "a blanket of snow" is a metaphor. It describes how snow covers the ground uniformly, similar to how a blanket covers a bed. This imagery evokes feelings of warmth, coziness, and tranquility, contrasting with the coldness of snow itself. Metaphorically, it can also suggest a fresh start or a sense of peace in nature.
Interesting question. The snow could be a metaphor for tragedy or sorrow. Notice, whenever it is snowing somthing sad has happened or is about to.
A metaphor for snow could be:SugarHope this helps :). Definition is here just in case:a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance
