Determined not to let my knees tremble, I forced myself up the steps to the room where I had been directed. I knocked on the door. No one answered, so I opened it.


As the door swung open, I saw a round table filled with high-ranking Nazis. Their caps were on the table, and in the middle of the table was a radio. The radio was playing an English broadcast. Right away, I recognized the BBC.


All their eyes burned into me. I realized that I had accidentally witnessed them committing a crime of treason, for which the penalty was death. I knew they would do with me what they would, so I had nothing more to lose. "Who is in charge?" I asked.

What is a Metaphor?

Objectives:

Understand the concept of a metaphor

Identify metaphors in a reading selection

The metaphor states a fact or draws a verbal picture by the use of comparison.

x
Metaphors enliven ordinary language. Creative writers use metaphors as an efficient and economical way to use words, and also as a way to describe subjects and feelings that are complex. By writing "The sun was a diamond in the sky," the writer suggests that the sun is brilliant, shining, sparkling, and many more things that may take up more lines to describe in detail. Let's look at these metaphors;

"This room is an oven!" "Am I saying that this room is actually an oven?" No, I probably mean that the room is too hot.

"The motorcycle was an angry, snarling animal." The sounds and the movement of a motorcycle can remind us of an angry animal.

"Tom was a pig during lunch." I probably mean that Tom ate every bit of his food or he made funny noises while he ate all of his food.

Recall that a simile would say you are like something; a metaphor is more positive - it says you are something.

x

Example: You are what you eat.

Activity #1

What are metaphors and how are they used in literature? What makes a metaphor effective?

Metaphors utilize the image of one subject as if it were analogous to another, seemingly unrelated, subject. Figures of speech, such as saying someone is "green" to mean that they are new at something, are often metaphors.

x

Read the following poem, Dreams, by Langston Hughes. Can you identify a metaphor in the poem?

x

Dreams by Langston Hughes

x

Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

x

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.

x

The poem contains structurally simple metaphors which follow the formula a is b. These can be found in both stanzas. The first contains this line:

Life is a broken-winged bird

While the second stanza contains the following line:

Life is a barren field

x

Think about these questions and keep the notes. You will submit these at the end of the lesson.

What is this metaphor referring to in this poem?

How do these metaphors work in relation to the poem's title, "Dreams?"

How is this description different from saying simply that when dreams are unfulfilled life is difficult?

How is it different from saying that a life without dreams is like a broken-winged bird? Would using a simile rather than a metaphor negate or weaken Hughes' poem?

What makes this an effective metaphor and why?

x

Activity #2

Read the following poem, You Begin, by Margaret Atwood.

x

You Begin

by Margaret Atwood

You begin this way:

this is your hand,

this is your eye,

that is a fish, blue and flat

on the paper, almost

the shape of an eye.

This is your mouth, this is an O

or a moon, whichever

you like. This is yellow.

x

Outside the window

is the rain, green

because it is summer, and beyond that

the trees and then the world,

which is round and has only

the colors of these nine crayons.

x

This is the world, which is fuller

and more difficult to learn than I have said.

You are right to smudge it that way

with the red and then

the orange: the world burns.

x

Once you have learned these words

you will learn that there are more

words than you can ever learn.

The word hand floats above your hand

like a small cloud over a lake.

The word hand anchors

your hand to this table,

your hand is a warm stone

I hold between two words.

x

This is your hand, these are my hands, this is the world,

which is round but not flat and has more colors

than we can see.

x

It begins, it has an end,

this is what you will

come back to, this is your hand.

x

The end

x

Concentrate on the following stanza:

Once you have learned these words
you will learn that there are more
words than you can ever learn.
The word hand floats above your hand
like a small cloud over a lake.
The word hand anchors
your hand to this table,
your hand is a warm stone
I hold between two words.

x

Think about these questions and keep the notes. You will submit your answers at the end of the lesson.

What does the cloud in the simile represent?

What does the warm stone signify? Is it only the child's hand?

How is this description different from saying simply that the hand is warm?

How is this description different from saying the hand is like a warm stone?

Is this an effective metaphor? Why or why not?

Is this sentence in active or passive voice?

As soon as the books were delivered, they were taken to the President.

Spero vos discipulos Athenas mox visuros esse. Urbs Athenae est pulchra et pulcherrimum templum Graeciae continet.

In hac urbe est Parthenon, templum maximum in Athenis, et stat in monte qui Acropolis appellatur. Poseidon et Athena certamen habuerunt et, Athena vincente, erat dea urbis .

Ita, hodie scimus templum domus Athenae esse. Statua eius, alitor quam sex viri, in templo statuit, sed pauci eam viderunt. Paci eam viderunt quod solum sacerdotes templum intrare potuerunt. Sunt multae urbes videre in Graecia...Olympia, Mycenae, Thebae, Delphi, sed videbitis urbem Athenas nulli secunda esse.
