What is the figurative language of “Acting has been my life raft”

I think it would mean keeping you safe or something like that

Explanation: because a life raft is something that will keep you from drowning in a body of water.

sry I know this isn't the best answer but I hope this helps!!

(FYI this is a guess)

first person

explanation:

the chosen symbology is the 'sweet secret' which anna confesses on january 6th.

anne's thoughts on her mother are further indication of her growing maturity and of her feelings of isolation from her mother.

the homoeroticism of this passage led it to be excluded from early editions of the journal. this passage shows anne's simultaneous innocense about and fascination with sex. she's clearly aware and unafraid of being sexual, but at the same time is seemingly unaware that her homosexual feelings could be considered taboo back then.

hope this !
