  1. Extended Metaphor A comparison between two unlike things that continues throughout a series of sentences in a paragraph or lines in a poem.

  2. Extended Metaphor – Hope as Bird Hope is the thing with feathersThat perches in the soul,And sings the tune--without the words,And never stops at all,"And sweetest in the gale is heard;And sore must be the stormThat could abash the little birdThat kept so many warm."I've heard it in the chillest land,And on the strangest sea;Yet, never, in extremity,It asked a crumb of me."

  3. Extended Metaphor – Will Ferrel – The Univesity of Life "I graduated from the University of Life. All right? I received a degree from the School of Hard Knocks. And our colors were black and blue, baby. I had office hours with the Dean of Bloody Noses. All right? I borrowed my class notes from Professor Knuckle Sandwich and his Teaching Assistant, Ms. Fat Lip. That’s the kind of school I went to for real, okay?" (Will Ferrell, Commencement Address at Harvard University, 2003)

  4. Valentine  Carol Ann Duffy Not a red rose or a satin heart.I give you an onion.It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.It promises lightlike the careful undressing of love.Here.It will blind you with tears like a lover.It will make your reflectiona wobbling photo of grief.I am trying to be truthful.Not a cute card or a kissogram.I give you an onion.Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,possessive and faithfulas we are,for as long as we are.Take it.Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding-ring,if you like.Lethal.Its scent will cling to your fingers,cling to your knife.

  5. Extended Metaphor Comparing Dad’s lectures with different kinds of military assaults The choice to speak about a matter of great importance to that of a caterpillar choosing to leave the safety of its cocoon The boy and the moth… Two choices, and a lonley, dark corridor A disadvantaged childhood, and the fragility of an egg…
