Figure out Figurative Language

Metaphor definition:

noun
1.
a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance,  Example: "He is a lion in battle"

A metaphor makes an even stronger image in the reader's head. When you use a metaphor, you are saying that a person, place, animal or thing IS some thing else (not just LIKE it!). Metaphors are stronger images than similes. They don�t mean exactly what the words say. Here are some examples of metaphors:

"My headteacher is a dragon."
"The Mayor glared with eyes of ice."
