What’s the meaning of “made my brain claw at my skull”?
I searched the internet for meaning in 2 sentences but couldn’t find the words in 3 sentences.
Could anyone please explain my situation?
The full text is here:
The burn was the Injury, I reasoned. So it makes sense to treat it first. When an unconscious male reached for the pack of ice from the freezer, he screamed. The pack touched his leg. But right after, he screamed.
I think it’s a very figurative language, as well as a literary style for a beginner. What is in the passage regarding a person’s scream with his eyes closed.?
I needed
to make my head hurt when… He screamed. He screamed loudly. He was scared to the death.
The author was describing an emotional reaction to his or her occurrence, that is, something like: Alternate Paragraphs :…he screamed — a
loud scream that
caught my attention and filled me with a sense of panic. I couldn’t stop crying.
How could you explain the nuances of a human being?
This is figurative language, and you can compare it with figurative language in your native tongue.
“To “claw” means to “crush” with claws. Often, a dog will try and claw at a door but won’t let out. Let out dog?
Do human brains have claws? But this is metaphor. You will find that your own language uses metaphors too.
The writer is trying to describe the empathetic pain he felt from the person who was burned, whose severe reaction to the application of ice showed that another injury could be worse than the burn. It is a description of what his own brain feels to be doing to the inside of his skull – a metaphor, as if his brain has claws which can physically scrape the inside of his skull
