The document discusses different types of metaphors including similes, simple metaphors, submerged metaphors, and extended metaphors. It provides examples of each type and explains that a metaphor transfers meaning from one concept to another by making a comparison. Metaphors can compare physical things or abstract concepts and are used to help visualize ideas and make writing more vivid and original. While metaphors aren't literally true or untrue, good metaphors don't confuse the reader.

Essay #1
For this first paper I am asking that you write an analysis of any one or two [or three] of the essays we’ve read to this point. A good understanding of the four expository modes of writing will help you in the formation of your paper. The paper should be designed as a comparison/contrast, process, division and analysis [also known as division and classification] or cause and effect paper. Consider either analyzing one essay [division/analysis, cause and effect, process] or two essays [comparison/contrast]. Consider also class discussions of the material. Below are illustrations of each mode. Get to know them, think about how you might write about any of these authors’ essays using one of these four patterns.
“Process” writing usually involves the separation of your subject [the essay] into its component parts. It divides a continuous action into steps or stages. Two purposes of process analysis should be most familiar to the writer: a “directive process analysis” explains how to do something or make something. This might include a description of the “process” the author believes is necessary for something to take place. For example, was Frederick Douglass in his “Narrative” going through a process? If so, what was it? Or you might walk the reader through Plato’s “Allegory” step by step. An “informative process analysis,” on the other hand, explains how something is done or how it takes place. Such an essay might describe how the author designed his/her essay—the parts of the essay leading to its conclusion. An effective process essay can hold a reader’s interest by helping him or her to understand how something works. “Douglass’s method of dividing his essay into two parts…Plato’s method of showing development…”
A “Division and Analysis” essay expresses a division of a subject into several parts to be analyzed or further classified. To divide is to separate the subject [an essay] into parts and analyze each part. You might argue that Plato’s essay is in six essential parts or that Bacon’s is in four parts [it is] and that each part has its own “characteristics” [it does]. Nietzsche’s Morality as Anti Nature” might be thought of in parts, according to what you see as the main divisions in terms of ideas [sensuality, hostility, the church, politics]. Francis Bacon uses several examples to illustrate each one of his idols [cave, marketplace, tribe, etc.] You might discuss the examples he uses. Choosing a subject and breaking it down into its component parts, analyzing each part, one at a time, is known as “division and analysis.” Many of the essays we’ve read can be carefully broken down into parts and studied that way. Of course, the parts all form a whole and this is probably something you’d want to demonstrate.
A “Cause and Effect” paper [closest form to argument] explores .
Directions Write a fully developed paragraph of at least 250 worAlyciaGold776
Directions: Write a fully developed paragraph of at least 250 words for each of the following questions. Support all claims and responses with specific details from the stories. Cite page numbers.
Be sure to read the "Checklist for Writing about Symbols" on page 267 in Backpack Literature for ways to avoid far-fetched interpretations. Remember, not everything is a symbol.
1. Plato's Allegory of the Cave
Actions
A. Define allegory, using the definition provided in Backpack Literature or the Key Concepts page of this lesson.
B. Identify at least six (6) symbols from the story and explain what each of these symbols suggest in this allegory. That is, what are they "standing in" for?
C. How does understanding these allegorical associations (symbolic meanings) help us to understand Plato's message? What is his message (or what is the allegory's main point)?
2. The Cathedral by Raymond Carver. Identify all of the symbols you see operating in the story.
A. Identify the symbols, which may either be physical objects or descriptions (of setting, character, etc.), or they may be names (of people or places), or any other concrete thing that seems to suggest more than its literal meaning.
B. Explain both the literal meaning (or use) of the object and the symbolic meaning(s) of the object or description.
C. Explore possible connections between the symbols in the story and its theme.
D. Support all claims with specific textual detail. Note that the story must support the symbolic meaning you interpret for an object or description. Simply because an object is often referenced symbolically--a rose, for example--does not mean that it is always used symbolically. The author must give us reason for reading the object as a symbol. (See page 267 in Backpack Literature for more on this.) Sometimes a rose is just a rose. Or, as Freud would say, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
3. Any two (2) stories story from Chapter 7. That is, for each story you will write a fully developed, 250-word paragraph that does the following: The lottery by Shirley Jackson and The one who walk away from Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin
A. Identify the symbols, which may either be physical objects or descriptions (of setting, character, etc.), or they may be names (of people or places), or any other concrete thing that seems to suggest more than its literal meaning.
B. Explain both the literal meaning (or use) of the object and the symbolic meaning(s) of the object or description.
C. Explore possible connections between the symbols in the story and its theme.
D. Support all claims with specific textual detail. Note that the story must support the symbolic meaning you interpret for an object or description.

Metaphors
1. Metaphors
The word “metaphor” comes from the ancient
Greek word metapherein, which means “to carry
over” or “to transfer.” A metaphor “carries”
meaning from one concept to another by stating
or implying that one is the same or like the other.
Types of Metaphors:
simile, simple metaphor,
submerged metaphor,
extended metaphor.
2. Simile
A simile (a comparison using “like” or “as”) is a
type of metaphor.
“The brownie was so overcooked that it tasted like charcoal.”
Simple Metaphor
The simplest form of a metaphor uses “is,” and
states the comparison outright.
“He is a monster!”
3. Submerged Metaphor
Also called an “implied” metaphor, because the
comparison is not obvious. Whereas a simple
metaphor might say that a person “is a
cupcake,” an implied metaphor would give
cupcake-like characteristics to the person: “He
can seem mean until you get to know him, and
then you find out he’s all gooey and fluffy inside.”
The effect is achieved by describing a person
using words that are usually used to describe a
cupcake. Thus, the comparison is embedded in
the type of language used.
4. Extended Metaphor
Extended or “sustained” metaphors span across
several sentences or entire texts. The narrator of
Dean Koontz’s novel Seize the Night uses a
lengthy metaphor to describe his wild imagination:
“Bobby Halloway says my imagination is a three-
hundred-ring circus. Currently, I was in ring two
hundred and ninety-nine, with elephants dancing
and clowns cartwheeling and tigers leaping
through rings of fire. The time had come to step
back, leave the main tent, go buy some popcorn
and a Coke, bliss out, cool down.”
5. Snowflake:
- unique
- beautiful
- disappears
in an instant
Why use a metaphor?
Allows us to visualize complex ideas
Creates a vivid, original description
Forces readers think and interpret for
themselves
Makes us (as authors) sound intelligent
Snow Pile:
- Takes weeks to
melt
- Looks the same,
covers everything
6. Metaphors can’t be true or untrue…
… but they can be good or bad.
A metaphor that
isn’t good will
leave the reader
confused. To say I
feel “as tired as a
whale” might be a
bad choice,
because no one
knows how tired
whales usually feel.
7. Metaphors & Abstractions
You can compare one physical thing to another:
“The sky was like a canvas with colors dripping
in reds and golds.”
…Or you can compare a physical thing to an
abstract concept. An abstraction is anything
that doesn’t exist in a physical form. (See a list
of abstract concepts on the next slide).
“Being in love is like a sunset sky: when it
happens, colors transform something boring
into something spectacular.”
