ANSWER:

A metaphor is a type of figurative language in which a statement is made that says that one thing is something else (through direct comparison) but, literally it is not. It connects to the object, event, or place, to another, and as a result a metaphor can uncover new and intriguing qualities of the original thing. Imagery may sometimes be visualized through the use of metaphor. The effect this has on the reader is that it functions primarily to increase stylistic colourfulness and variety.
