Answer:

In "O Captain My Captain" by Whitman, The extended metaphor of the poem compares President Lincoln to a captain steering the "ship of state" which means guiding the union through the civil war.

Explanation:

An extended metaphor means; A metaphor that unfolds across multiple lines or paragraphs of a text, making use of multiple interrelated metaphors in an overarching one. The "captain' of the title however, becomes less essential to the progressive success and unity of the nation as it seemed in the beginning. because at first the "captain" (President Lincoln) is seen as entirely responsible for the safe return of the ship home.

But, the citizens continue to rejoice after their captain has fallen, they did not let the grief of the assassination on the president stop them from continuing their celebration as well as moving on with their lives.

When reading between paragraphs 1-6, we can see that when leaving Russia, the author has the concept of "American dream" alive. This is because the author lived an life of oppression and few resources in Russia. The author allows the reader to understand that her life in Russia was limited, small, without opportunities and sad, but that would change in America. For the author, America was the land of freedom, opportunity and hope. She felt that America would offer her everything that Russia denied her and that in America she would work, express herself, be happy, do the things she wanted and be fully accomplished, in addition to being allowed to follow her dreams and enjoy the her life as she wanted.
