TEXT I
“no one leaves home unless
home is the mouth of a shark.
you only run for the border
5 when you see the whole city
running as well”.
Warsan Shire, “Home”.
(SHIRE apud YOUSAFZAI, 2019, p. V)
“I have had the immense privilege of meeting many
individuals who had to rebuild their lives, often in totally
foreign places. People who have lost so much - including
10 loved ones – and then had to start over. This means
learning a new language, new culture, a new way of
being. I share my story of being displaced not out of a
desire to focus on my past, but to honour the people I´ve
met and those I´ll never meet.
15 I wrote this book because it seems that too many people
don´t understand that refugees are ordinary people. All
that differentiates them is that they got caught in the
middle of a conflict that forced them to leave their homes,
their loved ones, and the only lives they had known. They
20 risked so much along the way, and why? Because it is too
often a choice between life and death.
And, as my family did a decade ago, they chose life”.
(YOUSAFZAI, 2019, P. XI)

Resolução comentada
A metáfora mostra o lar como lugar ameaçador, cheio de riscos e incerteza.
Ser a "boca de um tubarão" é imagem de perigo. O poema diz que só se deixa o lar quando ele se torna ameaçador, a ponto de a cidade toda fugir.
Análise das alternativas
A) Fala de preços e fome, o que o poema não menciona. B) Descreve o lar como lugar de alegria, o oposto da metáfora. D) A metáfora não trata de distância em relação à nova realidade.
