THE METAPHORS...

Definition of Metaphors: A metaphor is a figure of speech that says that one thing is another different thing. This allows us to use fewer words and forces the reader or listener to find the similarities.


BELOW ARE SOME OF THE METAPHORS:



  • Her home was a prison.
  • I'm not an angel, but I wouldn't behave like that.
  • America is a melting pot
  • John is a real pig when he eats.
  • My father is a rock.
  • How could she marry a snake like that!
  • The policeman let him off with a yellow card.
  • The committee shot her ideas down one by one.
