This is a 5 page paper discussing the use of metaphors in Ruiz’s essay “Oranges and Sweet Sister Boy”. Judy Ruiz’s 1988 essay “Oranges and Sweet Sister Boy” tells of the experience and feelings a woman has when her brother informs her that he is having a sex change operation and will now be her “sister”. In an effort to grasp this realization, the narrator tells the story of her and her brother through a series of flash backs which seem to help clarify for her that her brother’s decision is his own and he seems to be happy with it. Another method the narrator uses to clarify the situation for herself is her use of metaphors, the most prominent being the orange, which symbolize aspects of life and how well life in lived. In addition to the orange metaphors, the narrator also uses other fruit and food metaphors to describe personalities, as well as sexual metaphors, clothing metaphors and lingo used within the mental health system.
