Like a boil that can never be cured as long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its pus-flowing ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must likewise be exposed, with all of the tension its exposing creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.

The text presents the figure of speech called simile and is meant to show how injustice is something disgusting and unpleasant. The message has a tone of annoyance, but a mood of resolution, which provokes, in the public, the effect that something must be done to solve the problems of injustice.

The simile is a figure of speech that presents a comparison between two elements that do not have a direct connection to each other, but that can be related to create a new meaning. The simile is presented using the words "as" and "like".

In the text used in the question above, we can see that:

The author uses simile to compare injustice to a boil that is inflamed, disgusting and dirty.He does this to show how horrible and unpleasant injustice is.However, the author shows that just like a boil, injustice has a solution.This solution is also unpleasant, as it exposes all the dirt and discomfort, but the result is wonderful.This provokes a tone of annoyance, as the reader feels the injustice is terrible and disgusting, but the reader lives with it.However, this promotes a mood of resolution, as the reader feels hopeful to be able to decimate the injustice of his life, even if it is uncomfortable.

With this, we can conclude that the author's objective is to show the reader that he should not be content with living with injustice at his side, as it is not something good, healthy, comfortable and beautiful. The author shows that the reader must explode injustice, expose the rottenness it causes and get rid of it.

-simile (ex: like a boil)

-the simile, a comparison of two things using the words “like” or “as”, reflects the author’s view of injustice.

-the simile emphasizes the ugly, grotesque nature of injustice as well as how it inevitably must be dealt with. The passage takes on a gory tone but adopts a hopeful mood when proposing a solution to the problem.

-the simile allows the audience to view injustice as a problem that must be addressed before it festers and worsens beneath the cloak of normalcy.
