Metaphor
|
Metaphors are comparisons that show how two things that are not alike in most ways are similar in one important way. Metaphors are a way to describe something. Authors use them to make their writing more interesting or entertaining.
Unlike similes that use the words “as” or “like” to make a comparison, metaphors state that something is something else. Read the statements that contain metaphors in italics. Then complete the statements that explain the metaphors. 1. Brian was a wall, bouncing every tennis ball back over the net. |
