What is a kid friendly definition of metaphor?
Metaphors are when you compare one thing with another thing that's like it in some way, only you don't use the word "like". Say you have a teacher who you think is horrible, you might say, "I don't want to sit through another class with that gorilla". Now your teacher isn't really a gorilla, but something about him makes you think of a gorilla--that's a metaphor. If you come right out and say, "My teacher is like a gorilla", though, that's nota metaphor, because you set out both of the things you compare with "like" in the middle. That's called a simile (pronounced sim-ill-lee).Here are some other examples: "You won't get far driving that bucket of bolts" (is it really a bucket of bolts? No, it's a metaphor for a beat-up car.)"She sure poured ice water on that conversation" (did she really pour water? No, it's a metaphor for making people less enthusiastic.)"I don't know how that witch got on the team." (she's not really a witch; it's a metaphor for a bad-tempered woman)
