Metaphors like this one help bring ideas to life. <\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"What_is_a_Metaphor\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>What is a Metaphor?<\/h2>\n<p>\nMetaphors are a type of figurative language. Figurative language uses figures of speech to make written and verbal communication more effective, easier to understand, and more striking. Metaphors are a specific type of figurative language called imagery.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Imagery_in_Figurative_Language\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Imagery in Figurative Language<\/h3>\n<p>\nThere are seven types of imagery in <a class=\"ylist\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/figurative-language\/\">figurative language<\/a>. Similes, metaphors, and allusions use non-literal comparisons that illuminate ideas. Personification uses a non-literal comparison exclusively to a person: as in \u201cThe leaf danced across the lawn.\u201d <aclass=\"ylist\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/alliteration\/\">Alliteration<\/a>, assonance, and onomatopoeia use sounds to create different feelings in the audience than the literal words would normally convey.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Metaphor_Examples\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Metaphor Examples<\/h2>\n<p>\nGetting back to our specific topic, metaphors are words or phrases that compare two things. Unlike a simile, they do not use the words <em>like<\/em> or <em>as<\/em> to compare the words. Instead, they state that one thing IS another thing. Like in the quote from Shakespeare, the world IS a stage. <\/p>\n<p>Metaphors are used in literature, movies, plays, and even in day-to-day speech. You might even find yourself using metaphors without realizing it! Some commonly used metaphors include:<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\">Love is a battlefield.<\/p>\n<p>There is a blanket of clouds.<\/p>\n<p>Time is a thief.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0em;\">He is a night owl.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAll these examples compare two things directly. Love is compared to a battle, clouds are compared to blankets, time is compared to a thief, and a man is compared to an owl. Of course, we know that a man is not literally an owl, but the comparison helps us to visualize things in a much more vibrant way. How boring would it be to say \u201cHe likes to stay up late at night on a consistent basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Indirect_Comparisons\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Indirect Comparisons<\/h3>\n<p>\nOther types of metaphors use <strong>indirect comparisons<\/strong>. A couple of examples include:<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\">Work has dried up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0em;\">Their ideas are difficult to swallow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nIn these metaphors, you have two steps in the comparison. In the first example, <em>work<\/em> is not being compared to <em>dried up<\/em> but rather to something that can be dried up. You can use your imagination to fill in the comparison. Maybe an empty swimming pool or a dry desert oasis.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, <em>ideas<\/em> are not being <em>swallowed<\/em>. Ideas are being compared to something you eat that is hard to swallow. Maybe a dry cracker or a peanut butter sandwich.<\/p>\n<p>This type of indirect comparison allows someone to fill in an image with personal experiences. Maybe you have never been to a desert, but you have gone through a hot, dry summer. Maybe you have never eaten a peanut butter sandwich but you have had to swallow a big pill. Making images personal helps draw you into the story and makes it that much more visceral.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Metaphors_in_Literature\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Metaphors in Literature<\/h3>\n<p>\nHere are some examples of metaphors outside of everyday speech:<\/p>\n<p>In the poem \u201cThe Tiger\u201d by William Blake, he expounds on the beauty and danger of the wild tiger. <\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Tiger, tiger, burning bright<br \/>\nIn the forests of the night,<br \/>\nWhat immortal hand or eye<br \/>\nCould frame thy fearful symmetry?<\/div>\n<p>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe first line of the poem says the tiger is \u201cburning bright.\u201d Of course, the tiger is not literally on fire, but this comparison is used as a metaphor to illustrate the tiger&#8217;s bright color and even the tiger&#8217;s dangerous nature. Like getting burned by a fire, the tiger can be a dangerous beast. <\/p>\n<p>In the novel <em>A Little Princess<\/em>, the author Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote:<\/p>\n<div class=\"transcriptcallout\" style=\"text-align: left;\">She looked as if she had never had quite enough to eat. Her very eyes were hungry.<\/div>\n<p>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAs you can see, metaphors help make language more colorful and easier to understand by bringing new color and life into common objects and ideas. <\/p>\n<p>I hope that this video has helped you understand more about metaphors. Thanks so much for watching. See you guys next time and, as always, happy studying!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spoiler\" id=\"FAQs-spoiler\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center\"><span id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\" class=\"m-toc-anchor\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"faq-list\">\n<div class=\"qa_wrap\">\n<div class=\"q_item text_bold\">\n<h4 class=\"letter\">Q<\/h4>\n<p style=\"line-height: unset;\">What is a metaphor?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"a_item\">\n<h4 class=\"letter text_bold\">A<\/h4>\n<p>A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes one thing as being another thing in literal terms in order to better explain a characteristic or idea.
