Metaphors are used to show how dramatic a situation is. (I'm so hungry that I can hoarse!) This metaphor shows that this person is really hungry but he is not actually planning on eating a horse..

Metaphors are used to provide a deeper understanding by comparing two seemingly unrelated things to create vivid imagery and evoke emotions. They can help convey complex ideas and make writing more engaging and memorable for the reader.

Metaphors attach a lot of meaning, multiple meanings, even to very few words. Metaphors and similes are powerful figures of speech.
