Lesson 6- Exploration on analogy metaphor


A metaphor is an analogy between two objects or ideas, conveyed by the use of a word instead of another. Moreover, metaphor also denotes rhetorical figures of speech that achieve their effects via association, comparison, resemblance.

A metaphor is more forceful (active) than an analogy because metaphor asserts two things are the same, whereas analogy implies a difference.

Are you reluctant to hear his nagging?

Furthermore, this media can stimulate our senses via watching and listening.
