What type of metaphor do bold words represent

English
1 answer:
Llana [10]3 years ago
3 0

Look at these three sentences:

• She flew past me on her bicycle.  

• Turing was the father of the modern computer.

• He gave me a cold look.

In all these sentences, the word in bold type is not used in its basic or literal meaning – it is used in a metaphorical way.

A metaphor is a type of comparison: when you use a word or phrase metaphorically, you are using a meaning that has developed from the literal meaning and has some of the same features. For example, if you say someone ‘flies past’ on a bicycle or in a car, they are not really flying through the air, but the speed of their movement reminds you of a plane or a bird. This is a normal part of the way word meanings develop, and when a word has several meanings, some of those meanings are usually metaphorical.

An implied main idea is only suggested; it is not clearly stated in one sentence. To figure out an implied main idea, we must look at the supporting details.

yuradex [85]
So when people make tragic movies there is always a theme to them or a goal the author is trying to get out. It might be a sad movie that a lot of bad things happen but in the end usually something good comes out of it and that can help people, or can even be more interesting, to be a successful story.
