Definition: An unliteral form of speech that show similarities or resemblances.
Example: Finding a needle in a haystack.
Significance: Metaphors are important because they show two completely unrelated objects can reflect qualities of the other, or be compared to another pair.
Extended Metaphor:
Definition: A metaphor that is longer than a single line, but goes on and compares several objects.
Example:
Life is a journey.
Significance: Like a metaphor, an extended metaphor takes two unrelated objects or situation and compares them, but it also has other meanings within the metaphor that make it up.
