Wishes are thorns, he told himself sharply. They do us no good, just stick into our skin and hurt us."

Answer:

The line shown in the question above is an example of a metaphor.

Explanation:

The metaphor is a figure of speech that establishes a subjective comparison between two elements that have no explicit relation, but that can be compared in a poetic and implicit way creating a new meaning. Unlike the Simile, the metaphor does not always use the words "like" or "as" to establish the comparison. The sentence shown in the question above is an example of this, where wishes and thorns were compared implicitly, without using the words "like" and "as".

Read the Passage.

Goodbye, Cod
The Atlantic cod was once the mainstay of the United States fishing industry. However, warming of the ocean along the shores of New England has caused the stock of cod to disappear almost completely. According to scientists at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the Gulf of Maine is heating up faster than a majority of the rest of the planet's oceans. As a result of warmer ocean waters, female cod produce fewer offspring, and these fish are less likely to survive to maturity. Even though recreational cod fishing was banned in 2014, and strict limitations were placed on the number of fish commercial fishermen could catch, these measures have not been enough to protect the cod.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A) Because cod use to be abundant in the Atlantic, it was once the backbone of the U.S. fishing industry.

B) Female cod are producing fewer offspring in the Gulf of Maine.

C)Because the Gulf of Maine is warming unusually quickly, Atlantic cod are disappearing.

Read the passage.
from Bleak House
[Lady Dedlock] supposes herself to be an inscrutable Being, quite out of the reach and ken of ordinary mortals-seeing herself in her glass,
where indeed she looks so. Yet, every dim little star revolving about her, from her maid to the manager of the Italian Opera, knows her weaknesses,
prejudices, follies, haughtinesses, and caprices; and lives upon as accurate a calculation and as nice a measure of her moral nature, as her
dress-maker takes of her physical proportions. Is a new dress, a new custom, a new singer, a new dancer, a new form of jewellery .. new chapel
a new anything, to be set up? There are deferential people, in a dozen callings, whom my Lady Dedlock suspects of nothing but prostration before
her, who can tell you how to manage her as if she were a baby; who do nothing but nurse her all their lives; who, humbly affecting to follow with
profound subservience, lead her and her whole troop after them.
(from Bleak House by Charles Dickens)

Summarizing

A lion was sleeping peacefully when he felt a mouse scampering over his face. Grabbing her by the tail, he was about to devour her when she bravetly said, “Lion,if you spare my life, I will repay your kindness in the future.” The lion roared with laughter at the thought of such a tiny creature helping him-the king of the jungle. He was so amused that he let the mouse go.

Sometime later, the lion got snared in a trap. Hearing the lion’s angry roar, the mouse ran to his rescue. She gnawed away the ropes that bound him until he was free. “You ridiculed the idea of a tiny creature like me being able to repay a favor to a great creature like you,” the mouse said. “Now, you know that little friends can be great friends.”
