What is a metaphor in chapter 6 The Outsiders?

You're asking for a metaphor from Chapter 6 of "The Outsiders," but you haven't specified which edition of the book. The chapter numbering can sometimes differ between editions.

To help me find a metaphor, please tell me:

* Which edition of "The Outsiders" are you referring to? (For example, is it the original edition, or a newer edition?)

* Do you have a specific passage in mind, or are you looking for a metaphor in general from Chapter 6?

Once I have this information, I can give you a more specific and helpful answer!
