Question

What is metaphor.? I need an answer with examples and content quality.

Answer 1

a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.

Examples of dead metaphors include: “raining cats and dogs,” “throw the baby out with the bathwater,” and “heart of gold.” With a good, livingmetaphor, you get that fun moment of thinking about what it would look like if Elvis were actually singing to a hound dog (for example).

Answer 2

here is your answer..

A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison

Examples:

1. Time is a thief

This metaphor illustrates the point that time seems to pass quickly and our lives flash by.

2. He is the apple of my eye.

It doesn't mean that the person is an apple in an eye. The apple is someone held dear.

3. She broke my heart.

Your heart isn't literally broken; you're just feeling hurt and sad.
____________________

4. You light up my life.

No one can provide physical light. This expression is simply saying that someone brings them joy.

5. She was fishing for complements.

The woman isn't literally casting a lure to hook compliments out of the ocean. Rather, it's a dead metaphor used to signify a desire for accolades.
