Last time we were working on metaphor. We learned about the types of metaphor. As we know, Metaphor - a trope or figure of speech in which an implied comparison is made between two unlike things that actually have something in common. A metaphor compares two objects/things without using the words "like" or "as".
Metaphor structurally may be simple, prolonged, mixed; semantically (as I remember) - trite and original. Metaphor has subtypes as personification and metagoge. Also we know that M. consists of two components: tenor and vehicle.
So my individual work with metaphors in proverbs:
Actions speak louder than word (metaphor, personification )
Appetite comes with eating (metaphor, personification )
Bad news has wings (metaphor, trite, simple)
Curiosity killed a cat (metaphor, personification)
A ray of hope (metaphor, trite, simple)
A is B :
Brevity is the soul of wit (metaphor, personification)
Custom is a second nature (metaphor, trite, simple)
Knowledge is power (metaphor, trite, simple)
Necessity is the mother of invention ( metaphor, personification)
