//Metaphors// are a way to compare to by saying that one thing is another thing. For example, we say somebody is a //fool//. In the past in Europe, a fool was a person who entertained the king or queen by doing silly things. The fool was a kind of clown. He often did crazy or stupid things to make people laugh. So when we call somebody a fool we really mean that he or she is doing something silly or stupid. We don’t really mean that they are somebody who entertains the king or queen. We are using a metaphor. What do we mean when we say these things: When we //say someone is a pig// we really mean that They are a dirty eater

When we //call someone an angel// we really mean that They are a good person

If we //say someone is a giant// we really mean that They are very big a tall

When //we call a man an ogre or a woman a witch// we really mean They are a horrible person

When somebody plays cards and //we call them a shark//, we really mean that They are really snappy

If we say that //somebody is a volcano ready to explode//, we really mean that They are very annoyed and ready to go off at you or somebody else

When we say somebody is //bright// we mean that They are smart
