A metaphor is a figure of speech where you take a word or a phrase and apply it to an object or action that is not literally applicable. You are comparing two things, not because they are similar or the same thing, but because of symbolism. We use metaphors so that we can use symbolism to represent or ideas without being generic. ]]> 2021-09-09 21:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1729206251 https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1729319659 There are several important traits to consider when writing metaphors, however, the most important trait is comparison. When writing a metaphor one must compare two or more things. If things aren't being compared, then it's not a metaphor.]]> 2021-09-09 22:42:56 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1729319659 https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1731723581 I believe the best trait of metaphors to get to know would be the comparison behind metaphors. Without the comparison their is no metaphor. When thinking of a metaphor to write it can be very challenging because you are comparing two things to each other that most likely have nothing to do with each other.]]> 2021-09-10 19:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1731723581 https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1731755605 There are many important traits to follow when writing metaphors. The most important trait, in my opinion, would be comparing two things that have nothing to do with each other, but can describe each other as well. Making sure that you don't have to explain the intent of the metaphor, so that the reader can understand what you're saying just by reading it is also key.]]> 2021-09-10 19:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1731755605 https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1731857725 Their are a lot of important traits when thinking about metaphors, but I believe the best trait when it comes to metaphors is how different everybody's comparisons can be. when you are comparing two totally different topic is cool to see how different people will respond to it. ]]> 2021-09-10 20:56:17 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1731857725 https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1731867974 There are many traits that make a good metaphor, but I'm a firm believer that the best metaphors use imagery. Metaphors are often filled with things left up to interpretation of the reader. Metaphors can be very simple yet have vivid imagery. Ex: She's a garden. ]]> 2021-09-10 21:06:23 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1731867974 https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1731879645 Although there are many important factors that go into writing a metaphor the one that stands out the most is making the statement relatable to most people. their is no point in using a metaphor if no one knows what is being compared to the example in the writing. When more people understand what is being compared the reader will spend less time trying to figure out what the meaning of the figurative language is.]]> 2021-09-10 21:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1731879645 https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1731910508 I think the most important thing when writing a metaphor would be using a comparison that your audience can relate to. If your target audience is a group of people you don't know, and your comparison is a family joke or something that only makes sense to you, the audience will not understand what you are trying to say.]]> 2021-09-10 21:44:15 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1731910508 https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1731960190 I believe there are a lot of factors that go into writing a good metaphor, but the one I think is most important is being using a metaphor your targeted audience can relate to. You want them to be familiar with what you're saying or it doesn't make sense to use the metaphor at all. By using relatable comparisons the reader is able to fully grasp what you're saying as a writer.]]> 2021-09-10 22:47:06 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1731960190 https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1732225953 The most important trait for a writing comparison metaphor would be the reference to adversity and some form of reward that can be gained. I see it this way, because academic writing will always hold its share of challenges especially compared to some other writing forms or styles.]]> 2021-09-11 04:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1732225953 https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1732226435 The most important trait in my opinion is perspective, with a compelling perspective on anything it can draw readers in and change their beliefs and opinion about things they previously thought.]]> 2021-09-11 04:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1732226435 https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1738387356 There is a multitude of traits that you can associate to a good metaphor but the most important is symbolism. If you want to create a good metaphor you have to paint a picture for your audience. Once this picture is painted then you can effectively analyze a metaphor and find the deeper meaning of this. For developing my own metaphor I am going to make sure that everyone understands the struggle and beauty between fishing and writing. ]]> 2021-09-14 05:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/timacklin/uaj5oj94336qt0qf/wish/1738387356
