Iwas ignorant until my teacher’s words inspired me

how could this idea be expressed with a metaphor?

her words were light that brightened my dim soul
my teacher was like a lighthouse for weary travelers
the lecture grabbed the students, startling them
inspiration was felt by all, we left the lecture standing tall

Her words were light that brightened my dim soul.

Explanation:

First, we need to know that metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a what that is not literally true.

In this case, the inspiration you got through your teacher's words is expressed on 'words were light' (here the amazing words she used) and also, 'brightened my dim soul' (here the inspiration that 'illuminates' you)

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
