修辞学课件:metaphor

4. Metaphors, have three main uses: descriptive, illuminative and illustrative. Descriptive: draw sharper pictures in the mind than could possibly be done by any other means, and with much more brevity. (1) The hallway was zebra-striped with darkness and moonlight. (Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.) (A description of the alternate bands of light and shade in the hall, like a zebra’s stripes) (2) Campaign posters sprouted across the land like wild flowers after a spring rain.
