Can you put it in context a little more?

The previous answerers don't get it.\n\nThat metaphor doesn't exist in Spanish, so you'd have to translate the actual definition.  I'd use something like "otorgar una excepción/prórroga especial" (grant a special exception/extension)

Do you mean Metaphor??\n\nIn language, a metaphor (from the Greek: metapherin) is a rhetorical trope defined as a direct comparison between two seemingly unrelated subjects. In a metaphor, a first object is described as being a second object. Through this description it is implied that the first object has some of the qualities of the second. In this way, the first object can be economically described because implicit and explicit attributes from the second object can be used to fill in the description of the first. This is exploited in literature and especially in poetry, where with few words, emotions and associations from one context can powerfully be associated with another, different subject.\n\nMetaphor is a subset of analogy and is closely related to other similar concepts such as comparison, simile, allegory and parable. The exact classification of the type of analogy can be unclear when the subjects, the points of comparison or the manner of comparison are omitted.\n\nIn cognitive linguistics, metaphor is often seen as a basic cognitive function; that humans cannot help but see common traits in subjects which are factually distinct and indeed such behavior may be required for learning and comprehension. This is normally termed a conceptual metaphor. This trait is exploited in psychotherapy through a technique commonly termed therapeutic metaphor where a story unrelated to the patient is used to teach lessons about the patient's situation. The use of the word metaphor in these areas falls outside the typical literary definition of metaphor, as given above, although these types of comparison definitely fall within the greater scope of analogy.

friendship:\n\n1. When you are sad - I will help get you drunk and plot revenge against the sorry bastard who made you sad.\n\n2. When you are blue - I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.\n\n3. When you smile - I will know you finally got laid.\n\n4. When you are scared - I will rag on you about it every chance I get.\n\n5. When you are worried - I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to quit whining.\n\n6. When you are confused - I will use little words.\n\n7. When you are sick - Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don 't want whatever you have.\n\n8. When you fall - I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass\n\nThis is my oath...I pledge it till the end Why, you may ask? Because you are my friend.\n\n\n\nRemember: A good friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body. Let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel

Here is help from http://www.vsg.edu.au/samples/poetry/npsample.htm\nI will not do your homework, but hope this helps, \n\nExtended Metaphor Poems\n\nRead the following poem:\n \n\nBat\n\nMy son is a bat.\nHis eyes blink when darkness comes.\nHis body stirs with life.\nHis limbs gorge with blood\nas he sets out through the cave of night\nhis roof the stars\nthe moon a big white eye watching.\nAttracted by the false lights\nhe mingles with his batty friends\nweaving in and out of nightclubs\nendless parties\neach other’s places\ntill sensing the sudden ebb\nof darkness\nhe flutters home\na cloaked Dracula\nto the hollow of his room\nwhere he will sleep all day.\n\nIn this poem I’ve compared my son to a bat -- not by using ‘like’ or ‘as’ but saying he is a bat ; where you say one thing is something else [ " the sun is a yellow beach ball " ] you are using a metaphor.\n\nNow when you explore that metaphor -- the ways my son is a bat or the sun a yellow beach ball you are extending the metaphor.\n\nA student I taught wrote this poem about her mother:\n\n        My Mum\n\n        My mum is a general.\n        She stalks through the house\n        telling me what to do.\n        She then sleeps throughout the night.\n        But when she wakes up.....\n        her medals clanking, stars shining\n        & roars us to attention\n        she barks orders as she charges\n        through the house:\n        " Lisa, do the dishes ! "\n        " Lisa, clean your room ! "\n        then crawls back to her bedroom\n        while we, her dutiful soldiers\n        carry out her orders.\n\nTask 1\n\n    * if Lisa truly followed the pattern of Bat what might she have called her poem ?\n    * which title is better ? why do you think ?\n    * what additional thing did Lisa put in her poem that isn’t in Bat ?\n\nNow here is another poem written by a student of mine:\n\n        My Brother\n\n        My brother is a killer whale.\n        He is huge and scary\n        with tatts, long hair & beard.\n        But underneath he is meek\n        spending time in the garden\n        and around the house\n        socialising with the ones\n        he loves\n        giving my cousins rides\n        upon his back.\n        Truly he is more dolphin than killerwhale.\n\nTASK 2\n\n    * where Lisa’s poem added dialogue to the model of Bat what change to the model does Linda make ?\n    * do any of these three poems remind you of anyone ?\n\nTASK 3\n\n    * Now it is your turn to write.\n\n        * Choose someone you know -- a family friend, a relative, a teacher, a student, a celebrity, a cartoon character.\n        * Write down a one line opener.\n        * Then extend the metaphor by describing in what ways your person is like the object you’ve compared them to.\n        * If, for example, your little brother is real timid you might put down:\n          ‘My little brother is a mouse....’\n          then go on to describe how he is timid.\n\nPerhaps you might like to try an extended metaphor poem on an object rather than a person. How might you go about it? The next poem shows you a way:\nBath\n\nA boat-shaped vessel with room\nfor one ; when you\n\nclamber into a bath, you are\ncaptain, crew, passenger\n\nrolled into one --- yet baths\nrequire no special skills\n\nnor do they stand on ceremony ;\nin this they are like\n\nsome beaches -- dress is entirely\noptional ; entering a bath\n\nyou enter a topsy turvy world\nwhere water fills the craft not\n\nsurrounds it -- though baths will\nnever sink ; head back, you\n\nsettle down but are going nowhere---\nbaths have no destinations\n\nnor sails and are permanently in\ndry dock -- yet people\n\nhave been known to drift off\nin baths emerging\n\nrosy skinned and luminous as if\nfresh from a voyage.\nimage359.gif (2786 bytes)\n\nTASK 4\n\n    * choose a common household object or appliance --- a shower would be a good one, or a fridge -- and do an extended metapho

Look up Simone Weil - or Truth is Beauty.  There's some fun philosophical stuff about it, all relating to reality and faith / lack of faith.  You could just blow your teacher's mind - fundamentally all is one and one is all.  Have fun.

Similies and metaphors are comparisions of two things: \n\nA similie uses the word "like" or "as" \n\nex--his belly jiggled like a bowl full of jelly\nex--he was a quiet as a mouse\n\nA metaphor uses other words, including "is":\n\nex--You are my sunshine\nex--He is a cow

Are you making a metaphor with the forest and trees? It depends what you've destroyed in your life. If you dare to say this online, be more specific about your personal life for a better answer from us yahoo-ers.

Correct! Although the case you mention is a simile, metaphors can be more elaborate and include 'like', such as -- comparing life to something else.
