What is the difference between a metaphor and a symbol

1 answer:

6 0

A metaphor does not need to use like or as. A metaphor typically says one thing is another thing, but doesn’t always suggest that they are the same thing. Symbolism is similar to metaphor, but symbolism is usually implied, while metaphor is explicit. For example, “Juliet is the sun” is a metaphor, but not a symbol, while heavy rain could be a reference to Noah’s Ark and be a symbol of cleansing. In the second case, the comparison is not stated, but is implied.
Based on these definitions, B and C are definitely wrong, but neither A or D is completely right. I’d still say that D is the best answer though.

Sati [7]

Answer:

Under no means should a teacher need to carry a gun. It is already illegal in many states to possess a gun within more than 1000+ ft. from any school. The thought of being safe or cautious is factored out because in turn they too are now deemed unsafe. It clearly violates the 'Gun-free Zone' policy.

uranmaximum [27]

By using the words such as "cold", "shrill", and "howling", this gives the impression that the house is unhospitable and unwelcoming, as the words cold, shrill, and howling are not words commonly associated with pleaseant experiences. It also sets the tone of the "Story" (I have no idea where this came from), giving it a foreboding mood.

"Is we gathered data" a phrase or a clause

CaHeK987 [17]

Well, I don't want to be mean or anything else, but the sentence don't really makes sense. I assume you meant something like, Are we gathering data or Did we gathered data. However, it would be a clause, because it has a subject and a verb. The subject is we and the verb is gathered.
