3 WORDS
TWO QUESTIONS
A METAPHOR

REMEMBER:

Metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an implicit, implied, or hidden comparison between two things that are unrelated, but which share some common characteristics. In other words, a resemblance of two contradictory or different objects is made based on a single or some common characteristics.

 “My brother is the black sheep of the family,” is a metaphor because he is not a sheep, nor is he black. However, we can use this comparison to describe an association of a black sheep with that person. A black sheep is an unusual animal, which typically stays away from the herd, and the person being described shares similar characteristics.

Examples:

You are the wind beneath my wings.

Laughter is the best medicine.

He is a diamond in the rough.

Her voice is music to his ears.

America is the great melting pot.

My mother is the warden at my house.
