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.

How are Gatsby's Parties emblematic of his era?
Wittaler [7]
Because those were the so-called Roaring Twenties. That was the period of extreme wealth, both in the sense of money, and art and culture. Those were the "crazy years", of industrial growth, changes in lifestyle and cure, and of course, the blossoming of jazz music. In that way, the spirit of the whole era was crazy for parties, and thus, Gatsby's parties exemplified exactly that.
