1. Metaphor is a figurative language which you adopt and compare something that can not literally make sense. Simile is also a form of figurative language that you compare using terms such as 'Like','As', etc.
1. Author uses figurative language quite often in a text. To a beginner reader, it might be very frustrating and confusing in the first place, but I say that people use figurative language because it is sometimes fancier and more beautiful then literally describing every word you write. Readers want the text to be interesting, inspiring, and beautiful. One way to gather their attention is to use the figurative languages. But one thing about using a figurative language requires you a strong sense of imagination. They give us the picture of what is happening inside the scene with great details. Therefore you will be able to pay more attention to all the expressions and beauty that he is trying to tell us.
2. God is a mighty fortress.
Life is a journey.
Time is a thief.
3. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."Jesus is the Word, and the Word was God". John 1:1
4. There are lots of verses that use metaphors to express God’s thought and ideas. Since I am not a Christian, I did not really know until I have actually read a holy bible. This bible verse is the very first verse of the book of John. John was a famous Baptist during his time. This verse shows the meaning of holy trinity and how it works throughout our everyday Christian life. It says that ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God’. In this verse, it says that before anything was created, there was a word and it also says that word was god. Since word was there before the creation, God was also there when he created the world. From Google, it says that Holy trinity was the relationship between three things, Holy Spirit, Father and lastly the son. So the Holy Spirit has existed when the world was created, God was the father, and lastly the son is Jesus, who is a son of god. This verse basically describes the relationship between Jesus, God, and us.
