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
tall: Shelby is a Rimu tree
kind: Alex is a opa
fast: Korbanis a jet plan
slow: Quinton is snail
smart: Alex is a caculator
fat: Jono is the ocean
sneaky: Zac is a mouse
angry: Cullen is a volcano
beautiful: Tyce is a supermodel
ugly: korban all the way
stubborn: ella is a camera man
short: Dave is a ant
thin: Alex is a twig
silly: Jono is a joker
scared: Nathneil is a racoon
He is a giant: Kyle is a shreek
