Week 4 : Juxtaposition : Metaphor & Similes
Metaphor
Metaphor, the most important and widespread figure of speech, in which one thing, idea, or action is referred to by a word or expression normally denoting another thing, idea, or action, so as to suggest some common quality shared by the two. This resemblance is assumed as an imaginary identity rather than directly stated as a comparison: referring to a man as that pig, or saying he is a pig is metaphorical.

I shone life into the man's hearts"

"You've become a part of me,
You'll always be right here,
You've become a part of me,
You'll always be my fear"

"time is a valuable thing,
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings"

"You are the calm I am the storm,
You are the breeze that carries me on,
When I set adrift you anchor me,
You're there for me"

Similes
Similes, also a figure of speech involving a comparison between two unlike entities. In a simile, unlike a metaphor, the resemblance is indicated by the words "like" or "as." Similes in everyday speech reflect simple comparisons, as in "He eats like a bird" or "She is slow as molasses." Similes in literature may be specific and direct or more lengthy and complex. The Homeric, or epic, simile, which is typically used in epic poetry, often extends to several lines.

Examples :
"I know just what it feels like,
To have a voice in the back of my head,
It’s like a face that I hold inside,
A face that awakes when I close my eyes,
A face watches every time I lie,
A face that laughs every time I fall"
(Source : Linkin Park - Papercut)
"You're still a part of everything I do,
You're in my heart just like a tattoo"
(Source : Jordin Sparks - Tatoo)
"She acts like summer and walks like rain,
Reminds me that there's time to change"
(Source : Train - Drops of Jupiter)
"He said life's so hard to move in sometimes,
When it feels like I'm towing the line"
