yes actual life happenings are much more funny that fantastical situations, find some humorous moments reflect on them then exaggerate the funny parts, and try adding some irony to it....should work out great :)

Perfectly good word -- just see the wiki reference.  (-: I really like the phrase "primordial soup" -- you can just see the beginnings of life springing from this muck and stew.

A metaphor is an analogy or comparison.  "Your eyes are sapphires" is a metaphor, because eyes are compared to sapphire jewels.\n\nThere is a kind of metaphor called a "simile."  The difference is that for a simile, we say something "is like" another rather than being the same as another.\n\n"Your eyes are LIKE sapphires" is, properly, a simile rather than a metaphor.\n\nSimiles and metaphors are TECHNIQUES of the art of RHETORIC as developed in ancient Greece.

I notice that you have posted the question a few times and that some people have confused similes for metaphors, it is up to you, to sort the good from the bad. Those that have suggested sites for you to visit, are giving the best help and I would recommend that you do. Here is another site for you, Good Luck.\n\nhttp://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts.....\n\nKevin, Liverpool, UK

Actually, I believe God uses everything in life as metaphors and symbolism's. I believe nature is not only here to provide us with food, water, the ability to cloth and shelter ourselves, while at the same time providing a beautifull view from our living room windows, but to provide a vast wealth of understanding many of the mysteries around life, why we are here, what our purpose is, how we are to conduct ourselves and what is going to happen when we die.\n\nAnytime an individual finds some meaning in an object, situation, or event is a victory for God. He wants us to use the 10% of our brain allocated for use in this lifetime. He wants us to grow spiritually, emotionally, intellectually. By seeing some meaning in something even as obscure as hockey being a metaphor of hell freezing over and a fight of good and evil, He has succeeded in assisting one of his children to grow. Just saying this as jest means the questioner is using his brain. Using your brain gets it active and allows for growth.\n\nSo, while we all laugh at this question, by asking it growth is occurring, by answering it we are provided a means to grow as well, and the laugh we get from it is another good coming from it. \n\nThank you for sharing this metaphor with us here at Answers. I think this is an excellent question and I really appreciated it, for stretching my mind, and a great laugh as well. Much happiness and growth your way.

You're probably referring to a neologism.

Excellent point, buddy.  It is often subtle and subliminal (word stucture and sentences).  Good job bringing this to the forefront.

The metaphor which are used to represent death are fairly easy to pick out.  However, because I had to do the work to learn this so I could pass it on to you, I will give you some hints only.\n\nThe assignable portion signed away\nStillness with storms     \nBlue--uncertain stumbling Buzz  \nWindows that fail \n\nTake a look at these and see how these relate to your question.  I think you will find it helpful.\n\nTake care

Scriptural metaphors shouldn't be taken literally.  The notion that we are created from earth is based on truth. You were created from your mother's food, which was created from the earth by the power of the sun, mediated by genetic programs for plant growth.  You were what she ate!  Now you are what YOU eat.  We are constantly re-"creating"  ourselves by what we eat, all of which comes from the earth, or from the dirt, if you will.  \n\nIt was this basic insight that lead to the metaphor of God, (the sun or the Son) creating people out of the earth.  A quite natural process was turned into "God magic" for the sake of supporting a new religious belief which Muhammed was building up out of a synthesis of Judaism, Christianity, and Arab Paganism and tribal customs.  But it's not magic; just Mother Nature doing what She normally does.

Probably not, since I don't know what you mean. Is that a real island or like a metaphor or something...

I suppose this is a metaphor- either the crust or the atmosphere depending on how you look at it.

i dont know about symbolism, but he definietly uses metaphors.  he compares humans to little helpless wretched bugs.  then he uses the imagery of being held over the fire. i could be wrong, but i cant think of any symbolism though.
