By comparing a (possibly) difficult concept to a simpler idea, everyone understands, the reader can easily comprehend what's going on. This allows the reader to continue reading without frustration. ]]> 2021-09-09 15:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1728436431 jamesmace https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1728620067 Based on many of the other metaphors I read in the discussion, I found that a lot of people compared their writing with a metaphor that is a physical task such as we did in the reading. The reading had metaphors such as cooking, hunting, and cleaning. I find that metaphors with a task that uses steps is very easy to connect to thing when it comes to use of writing. Each step of the process can be connected to the steps of a task.]]> 2021-09-09 16:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1728620067 ashlynpou https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1728738422 Based on the metaphors I read throughout this module, I did notice the recurring idea that metaphors are very powerful emotional tools that authors need to use when writing because of the abstract concepts that emotions convey in writing. Without the use of metaphors in writing, the piece just seems plain and vague without any emotional movement. Stories that lack passion tend to not relate to their audiences and can cause the author to struggle when finding their voice. ]]> 2021-09-09 17:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1728738422 https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1728898447 Going back and looking through the metaphors that my class shared I saw a lot of emotion in their metaphors. I think one of the most important traits of a writing metaphor is emotion. Emotion really draws the reader in and shows different viewpoints. Without emotion there's nothing backing up what we have to say and it comes across as vague or boring. That emotion really brings everything together and allows the writer to express themselves more.]]> 2021-09-09 18:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1728898447 https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1729208934 In my opinion, the most important part of a metaphor is the emotions you put into it to make the reader actually want to listen. When a metaphor has no emotion or anything to make people drawn to it no one is going to want to read an emotionless metaphor. Without the use of metaphors writing would not be attention-grabbing metaphors make papers more interesting.

Whether it was building something or traveling. There's always a gathering of resources to then put down in a certain way.]]> 2021-09-10 02:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1729737377 https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1729804580 A metaphor is useful for many things but the most helpful one in my experience, is when there is a very complex or vague explanation of something. There is a metaphor to put said explanation into simpler and easier terms to understand. Keeps things simple and easy on the eyes.]]> 2021-09-10 02:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1729804580 https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1729851407 Metaphors not only help others have a deeper understanding of a concept, but also shows the writer's understanding of a concept to be able to create a good metaphor with it.]]> 2021-09-10 02:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1729851407 99034347 https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1729895415 2021-09-10 03:19:35 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1729895415 https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1730086252 The most important part of a metaphor is its visual effect. Metaphors work best when the reader can visualize and make connections to other things. Without this visual aspect, it would be hard for the reader to go deeper and make connections to the writing. ]]> 2021-09-10 05:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1730086252 https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1730201689 I feel like metaphors that have steps make the most sense, such as cooking or building a fire. Similar to an instruction booklet, when they state the step but also provide instructions on how it correlates to writing makes it easier to the reader to understand. ]]> 2021-09-10 06:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1730201689 https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1731612347 A metaphor should connect an abstract idea with a relatable one to help define it. This helps people understand an idea that might not be very clear. ]]> 2021-09-10 18:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1731612347 https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1731644949 After reading through all the metaphors, I have concluded that metaphors need to have a vivid image to tell a story and have a deeper meaning behind the words. The metaphor that connected with the writer can then be connected to the reader. Words are very important and impactful ,but the way it affects others, can change the "vibe" of the visual aspect of it all.]]> 2021-09-10 18:24:52 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1731644949 https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1731729805 The most important thing for a metaphor to contain is some emotional connection to the reader. If the reader can't relate to the comparison, they won't be able to fully understand the meaning behind the metaphor.]]> 2021-09-10 19:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1731729805 https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1731853402 Metaphors help connect the reader to the story and make them feel part of it. This is important for us as readers and writers, and we use them on the daily without even knowing it. It offers a attention grabbing and connecting feeling to the story]]> 2021-09-10 20:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1731853402 https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1731929515 A metaphor about writing should reflect all of its chaos as well as its beauty. Writing isn't easy, its actually a difficult task and its difficulty shouldn't be overlooked. Although, writing isn't all bad either. It is a beautiful concept and its beauty needs to be appreciated. ]]> 2021-09-10 22:06:38 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1731929515 kennedycostar https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1731935634 A metaphor for writing should speak to the chaos of the process, as well as the satisfaction that comes from perfecting the piece. Metaphors help readers to visualize the image the writer is hoping to convey. The most important purpose for a metaphor is communicating deeper understanding of an abstract phrase or idea. Metaphors rope readers into the writers world, and make for intriguing writing. ]]> 2021-09-10 22:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1731935634 https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1731990513 Metaphors allow the writer to expand their mind and think deeper into what is being said. It allows them to be creative and break down the information they are hearing. ]]> 2021-09-10 23:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1731990513 https://padlet.com/timacklin/neogfxu443yiqvmg/wish/1732007708 A metaphors has to do with everything it connect to. Without connecting your metaphor to your main idea it is pointless to have it. I think a great metaphor uses the main idea and connects it with a topic that is known by everyone. If someone reads your metaphor and it doesn't make sense to them they haven't connect with your writing.
