Your brother is a metaphor?

So what kind of figure of speech would you be, Anon, out of interest?

Hi,

I guess I am trying to really understand metaphorically speaking how to apply a couple situations regarding my life, family or friends. It seems now that I have a class starting soon, I need to write at least 5 examples of different metaphors.

I just need an example or two to get me to thinking.

Thanks,

Guest
