Step 3 metaphor
What is a metaphor?
Metaphor is when you use two nouns and compare or contrast them to one another. Unlike simile, you don't use "like" or "as" in the comparison.
Metaphors:
As a business person, you can’t be a mouse. You have to be a tiger.
You can’t be a timid person. You should be a brave person.
For lawyers, a courtroom is a battlefield.
A lawyer is compared to a fighter. He must fight to win cases here.
Going to work everyday became a chore for him, and he could hardly wait to find a new and exciting job.
Work is compared to a chore. This work is boring and the speaker is tired of it. More metaphors for you to enjoy:
"I am a rainbow" is a example of metaphor because it is comparing two nouns, a person, and a rainbow, but does not use like or as.
