At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms; Then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad...http://www.englishforums.com/English/WatchEachOthersBack/cgjpr/post.htm#199798Wed, 22 Feb 2006 15:16:40 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:199798janissarycan proficients give more examples of metaphors , similarism or idioms. especially in compositions they give tremendous effect to our writing.i try to use some of them in my compositions as well but with my poor knowledge i think i repeat myself with cliches. to draw blood from stone, as cunning as a fox, eats like a pig,grow like a roofs of tree and etc. i ll be obliged if you give me more such beauties of english regardshttp://www.englishforums.com/English/Metaphor/czrdl/post.htm#191741Thu, 02 Feb 2006 10:01:51 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:191741nefAccording to www.dictionary.com , a metaphor is a direct comparison between two seemingly unrelated subjects. In a metaphor, a first object is described as being or precisely equal to a second object. I can't come up with the full lyrics of a song with a metaphor in it.

Life is empty for him. 2. Her life is crammed with activities. 3. Get the most out of life. etc. So I have to find the main metaphor for which I could find 30 examples.

A figure of speech in which two things are compared, usually by saying one thing is another, or by substituting a more descriptive word for the more common or usual word that would be expected.

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, as in “a sea of troubles” or “All the world's a stage” (Shakespeare). 2. One thing conceived as representing another; a symbol: “Hollywood has always been an irresistible, prefabricated metaphor for the crass, the materialistic, the shallow, and the craven” (Neal Gabler).
