  3. What is a Metaphor ? met·a·phor(mět'ə-fôr', -fər)   n. 1. A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison 2.One thing conceived as representing another; a symbol

  4. Some Metaphors… He has the heart of a lion Rolling in dough It’s raining cats and dogs Kicked the bucket She has the voice of an angel

  5. What is a simile? sim·i·le(sĭm'ə-lē)   n. A figure of speech in which two essentially unlike things are compared, often in a phrase introduced by like  or as

  8. Metaphor and Simile…

  9. Metaphor and Simile What were some metaphors from the previous clips? What were the similes?

  10. Types of Metaphors… Extended Metaphor When one metaphor just won’t do. It is one metaphor with an extension of an added metaphor. Example: “All of the world’s a stage/and all the men and women are merely players.” - As You Like It by William Shakespeare

  11. Types of Metaphors… Extended Metaphor 1. All the world’s a stage… 2. …men and women are merely players

  12. Types of Metaphors… Dead Metaphor A type of metaphor that has been literally used to death. It has lost its original literal meaning and is now considered a cliché. Examples: Plowing through traffic Falling in love Making money hand over fist

  13. Types of Metaphors… Dead Metaphor

  14. Types of Metaphors Synecdoche Metaphor A metaphor that uses part of a whole thing to describe the whole thing OR a whole thing to describe part of that thing SOUND CONFUSING???? Allow me to explain through…

  15. EXAMPLES!!!!! All hands on deck… The hands represent the men who own them. Twenty sails came into the harbor… The “twenty sails” represents boats. I should have been a pair of ragged claws From T.S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, the claws represent the whole crab.

  16. Types of Metaphor… Simple Metaphor A metaphor with a single link between the subject and its metaphoric vehicle (the image, word, or phrase that represents the idea of the metaphor). Holdenspeak: “That killed me.” “That knocked me out.” “What a deal that was.” “It's no fun to be yellow. Maybe I'm not all yellow. I don't know.”

  17. Now it’s your turn…
