Answer: A) Handicapping intelligence contradicts expectations because intelligence is normally considered a positive attribute.

Since you are writing a poem, how will you use metaphors?
Anna007 [38]

Unlike a simile that uses "like" or "as" (you shine like the sun!), a metaphor does not use these two words. For example, in a famous line from Romeo and Juliet Romeo proclaims, "Juliet is the sun." Metaphors are commonly used throughout all types of literature, but rarely to the extent that they are used in poetry.


In this way, metaphors are used in poetry to explain and elucidate emotions, feelings, relationships other elements that could not to described in ordinary language. ... An easy way to understand metaphor is to view a metaphor as a simile without the word "like". A simile compares two things in a clear fashion.


What is metaphor give example?

Metaphor Examples for Kids. A metaphor is a figure of speech that is used to make a comparison between two things that aren't alike but do have something in common. Unlike a simile, where two things are compared directly using like or as, a metaphor's comparison is more indirect by stating something is something else.


Definition: Metaphors are one of the most extensively used literary devices. A metaphor refers to a meaning or identity ascribed to one subject by way of another. In a metaphor, one subject is implied to be another so as to draw a comparison between their similarities and shared traits.
