Answer 2

Metaphor figure of speech

Explanation:

• A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or activity in a way that isn't technically accurate in order to convey an idea or establish a comparison.
• It compares and symbolises those two things for the sake of comparison or symbolism, not because they are identical. If you interpret a metaphor literally, it will likely seem bizarre (do you have any black or white sheep in your family?)
• Metaphors are used in poetry, literature, and other forms of expression when people want to spice up their words. Metaphors are a sort of figurative language in which the literal meaning of words or sentences is altered.
• The more evident comparison in similes makes them easier to identify as figures of speech if you're trying to tell the difference between metaphors and similes.
• Imagine if Elvis Presley's song was "You're like a hound dog," or "You're as whiny as a hound dog," instead of "You're like a hound dog." Elvis would be employing a simile in these situations, making it obvious that he isn't singing to a sad dog.
• Despite the fact that you aren't a physical ray of light, you are likely to have a similar uplifting effect on the speaker. However, the definition of metaphor is far broader. Metaphor is frequently misused to refer to any type of symbolism.
• There are numerous additional forms of metaphors in literature, including implied, sustained, dead, and others.
