The Extended Metaphors

Through the presentation of an extended metaphor from the beginning to the end of a text, a theme is expressed and deepened in Night. Elie Wiesel, the author of Night, is a Jew and a Holocaust survivor. He was born on September 30, 1928 in Sighet, Romania. In Night, he documents his experience during the Holocaust. He talks about his experiences in the camps and relationships he has with others.

Extended Metaphor Some human characteristics are entirely unique, yet we can still compare to the everyday object. The emotions we feel about ourselves and others can somehow be explained through words with meaning, and make us feel even more emotion. Being able to feel is a large part of being a person, which is why I chose an extended metaphor that made me relate, and also feel. did you think i was a city big enough for a weekend getaway i am the town surrounding it the one you’ve never heard of but always pass through

In the passage from “The Custom House”, Hawthorne uses various elements such as an extended metaphor, imagery and contrasts to express his unsettled and bothered feeling about the US Federal Government. He describes the government to be unreliable and not trustworthy. He uses an extended metaphor to compare the government to the eagle. The intention being to chase off mischief, to warn citizens and watch over them in protection. The uses of descriptive words and imagery, paint a picture of a fierce eagle protecting you under it’s wing.

In this passage, McCarthy uses an extended metaphor through Llewelyn Moss in order to explain to the young hitchhiker that running away and starting over is not always as easy as it sounds. He compares her dreams of travelling to California in order to recreate her life to the beginning of the novel, when he found the drug money and thought his life would change for the better, but he forgot that one event cannot recreate our lives. It becomes clear that Moss has found himself in the middle of a battle between good and evil. Sheriff Bell, who represents the good forces throughout the novel, has tried to help Moss, asking that he turn the stolen money from the drug deal into the police department in exchange for his protection and safety.

Budge Wilson’s, The Metaphor, is a bildungsroman that blueprints Charlotte’s transition from a young, moldable girl into an independent woman through juxtaposition, allegory, and symbolism.

31- The purpose of the conversation between the protagonist and Mr. Emerson is to show that not all people are cruel, heartless, and racist.

Koval's triangulation of data occurs multiple times from end to end proven his theories, materials, and methods all over his book. The author’s enlightenment and commitment also cross verifies the same information. Due to the reality of his data, the strengths of his research prove that his information is credible and legit. Within Our Foundational Metaphors for Evidence, Booth (2008) wrote, “Language like that encourages readers to think of evidence as a reality independent of anyone’s interpretation and judgment” (p. 133).

The passage explains the thought process throughout an interrogation of the person that is suspected of in the situation; then it goes on to explain the entire act of interrogation as a whole with the interrogator and suspect. Throughout the passage the author uses multiple extended metaphors to express the thought process of suspect in an interrogation room. In the passage it states, “More to the point, they like to imagine their suspects imagining a small, open window at the top of the long wall. The open window is the escape hatch, the Out.” The author uses the window to symbolize a suspect trying to find an escape route that tends to be filled with lies to get out of any type of punishment of the crime. This is directed to those that lack knowledge on the subject of things in relation to interrogations; although, the audience can be generally anyone because the passage is made to widely understood by most people.

The poem I wrote conforming to the classic definition of an extended metaphor is about my experience of the suicide attempt of my best friend. When we were in fifth grade, my dear friend went through some troubling times with her family. She also dealt with confrontations with a few girls in the year above us. She decided to try to take her own life. She first took pills to combat her sickness, even though at the time she was contemplating suicide.

In “Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie, an extended metaphor is used to explain the connection between the author and the fictional character Superman because the author thinks of himself as a hero. The extended metaphor is used throughout the entirety of the essay and explains many similarities between the author and Superman. One part of the metaphor can be identified in Paragraph 4 when Alexie writes about teaching himself how to read out of a comic book. He writes, “Superman is breaking down the door” (Alexie 4).

The examples 1 and 2 are brought forward to demonstrate the conceptual metaphor Labour as a Resource and that the metaphor reveals the human as a standing-reserve. The reason why there are two examples within this topic is because the first example is a very good example of how labour is dehumanised and the second example ads to it by showing that we accept and aim for cheap labour. 1. “In March, employers added 192,000 jobs, just below February’s gain of 192,000 jobs. Going forward, some economists believe the stronger economy will lift average monthly job gains to around 225,000.

Shakespeare’s work is among the hardest to read because of its supposed complexity and sophistication. The language used in the Early Modern Era is different than that of the Post Modern Era. Audiences that saw the performances were aural learners and were able to pinpoint certain tones and facial expressions that readers may not detect through words. Watching the plays performed provided better feedback than readings do (Palfrey 10-11). Metaphors, implicit or explicit, are figures of speech that help compare two unlike things and are not designed for literal intake. Yet, with Shakespeare’s work, metaphors should be taken literally. According to George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, however, this technique of comparison allows metaphors to simultaneously highlight and hide certain attributes and/or qualities about the thing(s) being compared to (12-13). The highlighting and hiding of metaphors gives readers more insight into what Shakespeare may have meant at the time or even more so in what context did the people of the Elizabethan Age use language (Palfrey 11). Two important components of metaphors that do the highlighting and hiding are the vehicle and the tenor; each can be implicit or explicit as well. The metaphor in question emphasizes both the importance and unimportance of Lavinia’s character.

In the world we may all have that one negative person in our lives. The one who may constantly be negative or constantly be putting that burden on your shoulders. These type of people are always the best people to have in one’s life but sometimes when they are one must remove that person and realize the relief it put back into one’s life. In Daddy the narrator proves just this and lets her feelings out about her situation.

Organizations and metaphors are closely linked (Short, 2000). Susan Koch and Stan Deez (1981) sustain that metaphors are the heart of the interpretive process "that continually structures the organization's reality". Metaphors are useful and powerful communication devices used in our daily conversation and in academic research. They are conceptual tools that we use to make sense of the world and interpret meaning (Ortony, 1975; Oswick, Keenoy & Grant, 2002; Pepper, 1942; Smith & Simmons, 1983). By using analogies, metaphors create mental images that assist in interpreting the world.
