I don't think a lot of people just talk about how simple writing is and how it just comes out, there is a process and takes time and can be a frustrating process. When writing a metaphor it is important to think of our audience and also what speaks to you as well as something that makes sense and is easy for the reading to get a mental image or thought on how one thing correlates to the other.

A metaphor should give the reader a tool to understanding the idea in which the writer is trying to portray. My peers and I shared similar ideas in how writing is a skill that can be applied in most situations in everyday life. It may be hard but it gives you tools that you did not even know you needed.

When making or using a metaphor it is most important to understand the context. This is to say that the proper circumstances for the metaphor. Another thing to consider is the appropriate metaphor for the circumstances. It would be quite unsuitable to make a metaphor about comparing taste in wine to taste in cars while at a pie eating contest, or something like that.

One of the main traits of how to create a metaphor for writing is to remember that writing is a process, and that it's not always an easy task. There should always be a process involved. There is not just one thing that you need to do to write, there are multiple steps, that all have their own complexities.

Out of all the comments I breezed through in my discussion group amongst my peers, I noticed that the most uncommon trait the writing process was given was how easy the task was for them to complete. It seemed to be that writing was nearly a treacherous task that one wouldn't dare to poke at. However, it was agreed that as long as we were able to put one foot after the other and put in a great amount of effort, it would be more tolerable and worth it.

None of the comments that I read compares writing to anything that most find easy. Instead they are activities that require a lot of time, thinking and effort to do. Such as sports, fishing and other physical activities. I also noticed that most people compared writing to things that anybody can do but also requires work and effort to become successful at it.

Nobody has compared writing to a happy, easy flowing action. Instead its compared to a physical event that requires focus, practice, and dedication to become better. Writing has proven to be a difficult task with ideas flowing in and out, only getting easier after putting great effort into the task.

The most impactful trait to a metaphor is that it has a deeper meaning. I believe that the metaphor should be something simple that most people will be able to relate to, but they also have to use their imagination to make the connection between the two. Next time I make a metaphor, I will have an idea that will be able to connect to the subject in a few different ways and the audience will be able to determine which is the best idea for them to use.

the two things being compared in a metaphor will have similar traits that do not always need to be super obvious, it could be very easy to see or it could be two things that follow a similar trend in almost any way.

Metaphors are used as tools to describe a situation, person or, action in a more powerful and deeper way. They create a deeper sense of emotion in many writings such as will politicians will use metaphors in speeches. In many ways they can make the writing a much more clear cut picture in someone's head. Metaphors should be set up in a way so the reader will understand and be able to visualize the writing better based from the metaphor.

One metaphor that I have really thought about for a long time now is, “Life is not a journey, it is a destination”. I like this quote because it is saying that your life isn’t going to stop after you do one thing. You should strive to do more in life and make it into a long “journey” or adventure. Don’t stop at one place. As humans, we should strive to keep going no matter what. So, I will plug this into writing. “Writing is a journey, not a destination”. As you write, you will get better over time, and you may even surprise yourself in the long run because you could look back and see the progress you made.

"A metaphor should be meaningful in the best ways, but it can be very meaningful and important in many different ways as well, not just one". -Blake Pascal
I like that he said this because anyone could think that a metaphor means something and then someone could think that it means something different. Metaphors are meant to be interpreted by people.  I noticed that a lot of people said that metaphors are meant to be interpreted in different ways.

Metaphors are used to describe 1 thing and relate it to another. an example of could be " life is like a highway". but their are some weird one thats super funny but if you look deeper in the meaning of that metaphor, it makes sense. I think humor in a metaphor and also a quirky will make people enjoy it better rather than a plain boring one everyone heard a bunch of times

Metaphors are used to help others better understand or highlight the process. They can be helpful and make writing seem more clear and not as hard of a task. Metaphors should easily follow a set of steps, the reader should not get confused by the different ways writing relates. It should be very apparent.

Metaphors should be subtle, but at the same time complex. They shouldn't be too easy to understand, but they have to make sense. That is why it is important to make your readers think.

A writing metaphor should be easy to understand for the audience while also pointing out a certain factor relating to writing even if it means making mistakes or struggling how to do it in the first place.

I think some traits of a metaphor are as followed, they should be easy to understand and they should also be relatable to a large group of people so that your audience can understand.
