4. Origin
A figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied
to an object or action to which it is not literally
applicable.
Late 15th century: from French métaphore, via Latin
from Greek metaphora, from metapherein ‘to
transfer’.

5. Definition
…. A metaphor is where we compare 2 things and say
they are the same:
“Ali is a cunning fox.”
Ali is a ‘cunning’ fox + fox is ‘cunning’= Metaphor
Ali is not ‘fox’. He is so ‘cunning’ as fox.

6. Examples
“Sana is a sheep, just following everyone else.”
Sana follows + sheep follows = Metaphor
Sana is not ‘sheep’. She ‘follows’ others so much just as
sheep..
• “He always has a ‘cloud over his head’.”
• “The idea was a ‘bolt of lighting for his writing’.”

7. “Time is money.”
“I’m tearing blood.”
“Her eyes are
jewels sparkling
in the sun.”

8. How to make metaphor?
When you use metaphor, you make a statement that
doesn’t make sense literally, like “time is thief”. It
only make sense when the similarities between the
two things become apparent or someone understands
the connections.
• He has a heart of stone.
• You are my sunshine.

9. The metaphor is not like simile!
So what is the difference?
Well, it still is still the expression that compares two
things to show how are they’re alike in some way …
but-
Metaphors do not use ‘like’ or ‘as’ to compare…!!

10. What do Metaphors look like?
Metaphors compares thing so that readers
can imagine something a certain way or make
a picture in their mind.
• E.g.; 1-His room was a massive junk yard.
2- the classroom was a fish market.

11. Why do we use them?
If you can use
metaphors, you
really are an
Einstein…!!
“The greatest thing
by far is to be a

17. Metaphor is a type of
analogy
Metaphor is originally a figure of speech based
on Resemblance = one thing is used to refer to
another thing in order to show or suggest that
they are somehow similar.

18. So,
The essence of metaphor is;
“experiencing one thing or
thinking about one thing in terms of another.”
