  5. Analytical Paragraph In “Auto Wreck” by Karl Shapiro, Shapiro uses similes and metaphors to emphasize the fantasy-like and wild setting of the auto wreck. He describes the light as “Pulsing out red light like an artery,” comparing the red light emitted from an ambulance to the blood of an artery. The idea that a light is spurted out like blood is abstract and bizarre. In addition to that simile, Shapiro describes the wreckage as “Empty husks” locust-like in the devastation they cause. This depiction of the auto wreck is extravagant and almost unreal. Using figurative language, Shapiro reinforces the theme of death as being bizarre and perplexing.
