Eighner doesn’t effectively use it throughout the entire essay, mostly at the end to allow the reader to fully comprehend how he views the quandaries of middle-class citizens. Wallace Stegner, be it purposefully or accidentally, seems to use figurative language most effectively out of the three pieces. He takes into account the possibility of overuse, and he develops a successful concentration of figurative language in his essay. There is neither an overabundance, as seen in Nemerov’s poem, nor a lack, as in Eighner’s “how-to guide,” of figurative language. Stegner’s essay utilizes similes and metaphors, among other examples, to both enhance thematic and stylistic essence and convey attitude toward the subject matter. He appears to accomplish this arduous task at a higher level than that of the other two
