The author Orson Scott Card wrote: “Metaphors Have a Way of Holding the Most Truth in the Least Space”.
An interesting metaphor is powerful indeed: it marks a thoughtful and mature writer.
Students who can write metaphorically on essays and applications score higher and make more of an impression than those who write only literal statements.
However, it takes practice to get into the habit of thinking and writing in metaphors.
Students need more than a simple definition and one or two examples. They need numerous examples of varying difficulty.
They also need practice describing what a metaphor literally means, and they need to create a few metaphors of their own. This lesson provides detailed explanations, many examples, and a thought-provoking practice exercise.
