# Metaphor

> Last time we were working on metaphor. We learned about the types of metaphor. As we know, Metaphor ...

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)
