Answer 2

Name and explain the figure of speech: 'Life is a journey.'

• The given sentence is a metaphor. Here, life is compared to a journey.
• A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a person or thing or action is described in a manner that is not literal, but is symbolic. It helps in providing clarity to an idea or to make a comparison.

1. 'Life' is compared to a journey. A concrete idea like journey is compared to an abstract idea like life here. It can mean that like how a journey has a starting point and a destination, life too has a beginning and an end.

• In life and in journeys, one experiences different things and go along with different types of people.
• It may mean that in life, there is less importance to the "checkpoints" that one passes through and more relevance to the little things that one experiences along he way.
• 2. It is a direct comparison. 'Life' is said to be a 'journey' - there are no other words used for making this comparison.
