MetaphorA Metaphor is the comparison of two unlike things. Many of the metaphor can be described as figure of speech in which certain things are referred as to being similar. For example "a fierce person can be referred as angry". Another example of a metaphor would be the description of a person who is uncommunicative as to "he is silent as stone". An easy way to understand metaphor is to view a metaphor as simile without the word "like". In other words a metaphor is a word that means how two words compare a person in a way of saying what someone else is expressing feelings or comparing something,for example "I am so hungry I can eat a cow" or using other like "you are as slow as a turtle" are all an example of a metaphor. Also we can find out how we use these metaphors in a way of showing other how to express a feeling using diffirent technics like not saying stuff directly and correctly for example (you are so noisy you sound like a tractor) or others like (you are as smelly as a skunk). Metaphors are used everywhere and by people, to express their feeling and emotions. Some of these persons that use this metaphors constently in there books,novel,and stories are poets, writers and magazine editers. The most intresting thing about metaphor is that they are use by poets very frequently. Poets like Robert Herrick use metaphors in his poems for example in the poem called "A Meditation for his Mistress" he used metaphors like "You are a tulip seen to-day"and "You are a full-spread,fair-set vien" and also "You are the queen all flowers among. Also there other poets like Emily Dickinson she also uses metaphor in here poems for example on the poem "the bee" it has metaphors like (like trains of cars on trucks of plush) and others like the poem "pedigree" like (The pedigree of honey does not concern the bee; A clover,any time,to him is aristocracy.)
