METAPHOR increases the fun in everything

Definition:

A phrase used to describe a subject, in order to show that the two things have similar qualities and similarities. This is different from comparing!

Example:

• Her heart was made out of stone, firm, strict and hard to break. But somewhere deep inside the stone, its soft spot always seem to find its way out of the hard shell.
• He was an exact replica of Pumbaa, all chubby and big, not to mention his friendliness and the ability of accepting and not denial.
• Her fingers were paintbrushes on those white paper, working effectively, patiently, yet softly and silky. The way her fingers moved, the way they swayed whenever she finished an artwork.

Why is it important in Language Arts?

  Metaphor also adds up to the list of 'How can you improve your imagination?' by using 2 or more different subjects to describe them without telling the audience. Metaphor will help you realize the personalities, the event or the characters of a story, the more metaphor there are, the better the story will get!
