A metaphor is a word or phrase that is used to make a comparison between two things by saying one thing is the other. Metaphors are a kind of figurative language.
An example is "Ben's temper was a volcano, ready to explode". The main object is Ben's temper. Ben's temper is compared to a volcano, which erupt suddenly. The meaning of this metaphor is that Ben gets angry suddenly.
People can describe things by using metaphors like: the weather, flavours & other things.
L.I: To describe things by metaphors.
Hello Shinaye,
ReplyDeleteYour blogpost is very well detailed and informative. I understand that metaphors are figurative language. What more do you know about figurative language?
Hello, Bella
ReplyDeleteI know that there is five main categories for figurative language, as you already know metaphors. My question for you is. Do you have a good connection with figurative language and why?
Hello Shinaye,
DeleteThat's an interesting reply! I don't think I have a good connection with figurative language, however I do enjoy learning about it. This is because I find learning about figurative language interesting, however I might struggle with understanding it. Do you know about any other figurative languge types?
