I choose conceit/extended metaphor

An extended metaphor, also known as a conceit or sustained metaphor, is when an author exploits a
single metaphor or analogy at length through multiple linked, tenors, and grounds throughout a poem or
story. Tenor is the subject of the metaphor, vehicle is the image or subject that carries the weight of the
comparison, and ground is the shared proprieties of the two compared subjects. Another way to think of
extended metaphors is in terms of implications of a base metaphor. These implications are repeatedly
emphasized, discovered, rediscovered, and progressed in new ways. Wikipedia

In the essay A New Perspective, the author, Janice E. Fein, compares her childhood memories to
mental snips of celluloid edited from the long playing film entitled "Cheated in Life."
