Respuesta :

He uses a simile (like rivers through my veins) to sort of paint a picture in the readers mind. The simile shows that while woods was  born in Ohio, the culture and stories of south Carolina have had a big impact on him and have become part of who he is. It could also mean that he knows their stories so well they seem to flow out of him in a way. Like he could tell anyone at anytime without making any mistakes.
