A metaphor is a type of literary device used to encourage the reader to draw a comparison between two seemingly unrelated things, and find similarities between them.
For example, the phrase "My garden is an oasis" does not literally mean it is an oasis, but suggests that it has similar qualities - that it is peaceful, or a refuge within a hostile environment.
Using metaphors will also lengthen an essay in many cases.
