Metaphors

Currently now Esther is probably having a hard time with her neck because of a bone out of place and is causing her a lot of headaches.So all you out there please do wish that she will get well soon. Ya! Esther get well soon . haha , i know how much you like metaphors so here's a post dedicated to you .

Life is like a roller coaster,bear hug,crystal clear . We hear metaphors all the time on the radio , on the television , in the newspaper and even when chatting . But have you ever thought what metaphors really are and whats the use of using it? haha

Well metaphors are direct comparisons between subjects which at first sight have unrelated concepts. Its is usually created by saying one thing is another. A primary entity mixed with secondary entity. Example ( primary are highlighted green , secondary are highlighted blue)

Drowning in the sea
Jumping for joy
Rolling in dough
Apple of my eye
It is raining cats and dogs
Love is a fragile flower opening to the warmth of Spring
Information travels faster in this modern age as our days start crawling away
Life has a tendency to come back and bite you in the ass (this is my fav here haha)
A riverboat shall be my horse
A light in a sea of darkness
Strength and dignity are her clothing

But really? whats it all for? well do you know that Metaphors help connect the differing ideas and concepts; Transfer Knowledge across disciplines. This means that we are able to view different points of knowledge in different views.For instance, earth as a living organism here its viewed as a mix of both under geology and biology. cool eh? Also it helps facilitate literary work and in your understanding and communication.Ultimately it help people to look at the same thing in a different way . ( think this is one of the reason why Esther like it , is it Esther? )

Well if you know a few metaphors or two . please tag it down , i would love to hear it ! share your knowledge with us.
