the car is only a simple example of more general enslavement. for years we lived unawre of our chains when at last consciousness of our predicament dawns and this is in the case of cars has already begun to happen. we think it is too late to free ourselves from our slavery. for all masters, sooner or later, grow dependent on their slaves and it has now become a psychological, no less than a physical in possibility, to dispense with aid of machines.

No, you underline the words that you think are metaphors, and then we will check your effort.

Anon,

 

Is this an order?. Or are you requesting help?

Here are a few helpful hints:

Learn to use the word "please".

Capitalize the proper places.

Your article had quite a collection of "big words" which were used very awkwardly.

Are you trying to say "we become enslaved by the inventions and machinery" which we have created?

But I couldn't understand the meaning of  this collection of profound words! Maybe it's me.
