Metaphor


Definition: A metaphor is a comparison between two things without using the words "like" or "as."
Example: Money is going down the drain.
Significance: Metaphors are important because they allow for symbolism. With metaphors, writers can state their point without being straightforward, making the reader think and interpret more. Also, metaphors can enrich descriptions, creating lively and vivid imagery.
