A key reason to include metaphors in a literary work is to create new and surprising comparisons and deepen understanding.

The literary device metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but it is implemented in order to explain an idea or draw a comparison. A metaphor states that one thing is another thing. Some color is added in a poem or literary work by the use of metaphors.

In at least 150 words, discuss how Emerson portrays John Brown as a kind of "everyman" in his speech and what effect it has.
Alona [7]

John Brown was an American abolitionist who advocated insurrection as a means to end slavery in the United States. For his activities outside the law, Brown was accused of treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia, found guilty and hanged.

Prior to his death and after his sentencing, a large number of prominent figures raised money and wrote speeches in his defense. One of this people was Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson presented Brown as a common, everyday man who had strong ideals and felt compelled to act upon them. This was intended to present Brown as an admirable man and to invoke sympathy among the people by identifying themselves with him.
