Comment on Metaphors by Carol.Jackson

Shakespeare said, “My mistress’ eyes are not bright like the sun;
her lips are not read as coral; her breath not perfumed;
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

A child in a technology driven classroom is like a bee in a hive.

A pencil is to paper like salt is to pepper.

A flash of the camera is like a wink of the eye.

Water is to thirst as adventure is to boredom

Shakespeare used many reverse metaphors in his Sonnet 130: “My mistress’ eyes are not
bright like the sun; her lips are not red coral; her breath not sweet perfume.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.”

Metaphor = I fail to see the humor in it.
A shinning example of democracy.

Shakespeare said, “If we are pricked, do we not bleed, if we are tickled, do we not laugh,

and if we are poisoned, do we not die…?”

I swallowed his story, hook, line and sinker.
I really like his ideas; I ate them up.
I swallowed my pride.

Analogy = Fish is to swim, as Bird is to fly.
Airplane is to sky, as Train is to tracks.

Abraham Lincoln is to the USA like Jefferson Davis is to the CSA.
US Grant is to the Union Army like RE Lee is to the Confederate Army.
Samuel Morse is to the telegraph as Robert Fulton is to the steamboat.
The Civil War is to Abraham Lincoln like the Mexican War is to James Polk.
