What are some metaphors of "finding yourself"?

Help with similes and metaphors?

• I need help finding simile and metaphors in the first stanza of the poem hockey by Scott Blaine The ice is smooth, smooth, smooth. The air bites to the center Of warmth and flesh, and I whirl. It begins in a game ... The puck swims, skims, veers, Goes leading my vision Beyond the chasing reach of my stick. The question Identify two metaphors in the first stanza and one simile in the third stanza. For each example of figurative language, explain the two concepts that are being compared.

• Answer:

  'air bites' is a metaphor. (i.e. it is giving a human-like, or animal-like quality to an inanimate object, wind) 'the puck swims' is another metaphor (pucks are also inanimate and so can't 'swim' in a normal sense) Where's the third stanza? (a simile is comparing two things using 'like' or 'as', whereas a metaphor is a more direct comparison using, or implying the 'be' verb) Edit: OK, the simile is "Sticks... ...snap like teeth" (a comparison using 'like')
