Are there Metaphor examples

Answer 1

Yes, there are many metaphor examples (or examples of metaphors). Reminder: a "metaphor" is a description that uses comparison WITHOUT the words "like" or "as." (When you use "like" or "as," it is a simile.)

So, if you were to compare the sound of an annoying person's voice to that of a parrot, here would be that metaphor example:

"The professor was a wild parrot, squawking out wild philosophies, his high pitched voice spewing out strange thoughts and ordering lengthy homework assignments."

If you were to compare a woman's pale, white face to a blank sheet of paper, here would be the resulting metaphor:

"Her face was a sheet of blank white paper, punctuated only by the dots of her eyes and nose, and a thin red line of a mouth."

Think of colors, sounds, textures, shapes, and smells when trying to create a fresh metaphor. With a little thought, I'm sure you can come up with some new metaphor examples of your own.

Answer 2

1. "Time is a thief." This metaphor compares time to a thief to suggest that it steals moments and opportunities from us.
2. "He has a heart of stone." In this metaphor, the person's lack of empathy or emotion is compared to a heart made of stone to emphasize their coldness.
3. "The world is a stage." This metaphor compares life to a stage, implying that we all play different roles and have our moments in the spotlight.
