I didn't take this picture intending some like of weird social commentary but you certainly could use this photo for a caption contest. As the man stares longingly into his beer his your son puts at his arm....
Metaphor
Metaphor:- Metaphor is a word or phrase that exaggerates the meaning of another word in a sentence far away from reality only to show similarity between the two.
Metaphor changes the original meaning of another word and gives it a completely different sense from the original one.
A metaphor is a figurative word or phrase stating that two things are similar in that particular sentence. Metaphor and other terms are different literally, but they share the same quality in that sentence.
For example,
The flames 🔥 were talking to the sky.
In the above sentence, the phrase (talking to the sky) is a metaphor. The metaphor (talking to the sky) exaggerates the meaning of flame 🔥. This metaphor implies that the flames 🔥 were so high as if they were touching the sky. In reality, nothing exists like that. The metaphor vividly portrays the fire scene and gives us information about a heavy fire outbreak, and the flames 🔥 of fire were very high.
You may be shocked to hear that we all use metaphors every day, but unfortunately, most do not know.
Metaphor is not a difficult thing to understand. It is we who have made it complicated.
We use metaphors to beautify our writing. Writers use the analogy in their writing to sound professional and expertise in their fields.
For example,
Hercules had the heart of a lion .Helen is the apple 🍏 of my eyes 👀.It is raining 🐈 cats and 🐕 dogs.He is the dirty egg amongst them.His garden was a jungle of weeds.
Albania, Durres on the waterfront-When did the Wild West visit! seems like a metaphor for post-Communist 'democracy' maybe?
As a metaphor for my coaching I believe that I provide a fertile ground for clients to grow and evolve on their own while exhibiting the patience required to make that happen. Not much different than my garden. I've just tilled the earth to begin planting and that is the starting place for all growth to start.
Two things are clear from this photo: (a) I share my bed with everything I need, and (b) I need a new phone.
