Explanation:

HEY MATE ..

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.

Here are the basics:

A metaphor states that one thing is another thingIt equates those two things not because they actually are the same, but for the sake of comparison or symbolism.

If you take a metaphor literally, it will probably sound very strange (are there actually any sheep, black or otherwise, in your family?)

Metaphors are used in poetry, literature, and anytime someone wants to add some color to their language.

SOME EXAMPLE ARE :

'm drowning in a sea of grief."Here grief is so overwhelming that the person feels helpless, like they're being pulled underwater."She was fishing for compliments."

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.
