“The fish” by Ellizabeth Bishop and “Out, Out…” by Robert Frost. In the poem “The Fish” and “Out, Out”, both narrators describe nature and his beauty like art. Ellizabeth Bishop begins with a clear description of what happened as the fish was caught. Later on Ellizabeth uses descriptive language to describe the fish. This helps the readers visually imagine what;s going i their head. In “Out, Out”, Frost describes a young boy doing a grown up job. Similarly to Bishop, Frost uses descriptive language to help the readers imagine. “Shall I Compare thee to a summer’s day” and “We Wear the mask” In “ Shall I Compare thee to a Summer’s day” by William Shakespeare and “We wear the mask” by Paul, the two narrators used metaphor

For example, He says “The barbed wire encircled us like a wall…”(11). He is trying to compare barbed wire to a wall. He wants us to imagine it was a wall and that's what it felt like for them but he always turned it into a positive because he felt they were now part of a small Jewish republic. In addition, He also said “Monday went down like a small summer cloud, like a dream in the first hours of dawn.”(18). He trying to tell us that monday felt short by describing what it literally felt like but it wasn’t actually. Emotions can get really high in times this and things start to feel different . Similes were a way for the author to express his feelings to the
Metaphors can be defined as those concepts where a term is used to portray a different meaning in a phrase than what it literary means. Additionally, metaphors are also used to make rhetorical statements where one is speaking of something else but by the use of words that do not have the same meaning. Moreover, metaphors can be used when one is trying to compare two different items with different meanings to portray the same meaning in describing something (Arduini 83). The book “Their eyes were watching God” has several metaphors, which have different analyses.
A poem without any complications can force an author to say more with much less. Although that may sound quite cliché, it rings true when one examines “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop. Elizabeth’s Bishop’s poem is on an exceedingly straightforward topic about the act of catching a fish. However, her ability to utilize thematic elements such as figurative language, imagery and tone allows for “The Fish” to be about something greater. These three elements weave themselves together to create a work of art that goes beyond its simple subject.
Did you know Shakespeare wrote 37 plays? In his plays, poems, or anything else, Shakespeare used figurative language in many ways. In the play Romeo and Juliet, by Shakespeare, figurative language is used to reflect detailed imagery to the reader. Shakespeare, the greatest writer in the English language, created over 20,000 words we still use today. With these words, Shakespeare creates imagery in the mind of the reader. Through Shakespeare’s use of similes and personification throughout Romeo and Juliet he provides creative and masterful use of imagery for the reader.
The metaphors are the words make implicit or hidden comparison between two things that are unrelated but share some common characteristics. The authors always use metaphors to collect two things that having the similar parts. Metaphors can help the audience to picture a massive battle on a small stage. The audience can feel personally on the scene if the authors wrote the metaphors in the right place. In our real life, people always use metaphors to explain new things to the people do not know them.
"Out, Out--" by Robert Frost is a poem about a young boy who dies as a result of cutting his hand using a saw. In order to give the reader a clear picture of this bizarre scenario, Frost utilizes imagery, personification, blank verse, and variation in sentence length to display various feelings and perceptions throughout the poem. Frost also makes a reference to Macbeth's speech in the play by Shakespear called Macbeth which is somewhat parallel to the occurrences in "Out, Out-."
Metaphor is used multiple times, one example of this is when Remarque writes, “I think it is more like a fever… No one in particular wants it, and then all at once there it is”(206). Albert is saying that war is a fever. The boys are discussing who thinks that starting a wa is a good idea and benefits greatly from it. Albert then answers in this way because no one, he believes, would want to start something like this.Another is when Remarque says, “We are little flames poorly sheltered by frail walls against the storm of dissolution and madness, in which we flicker and sometimes almost go out” (275). In this way Remarque is able to explain in the way that the mental attacks of war make even the strongest of soldiers break some even to the point of madness. Simile is also used a lot throughout the book to describe the soldiers and the scenery. Remarque uses this device when he writes, “We fancied to be trained for heroism as though we were circus-ponies. But we soon accustom ourselves to it” (22). In this way Paul explains that they all had to romantic view of them being heros without much trouble but this is crushed pretty much once they get to camp. Second is when Remarque writes, “We are forlong like children, and experienced like old men, we are crude and sorrowful and superficial - I believe we are lost” (123). In this way Paul summarizes this lost generation that he and his fellow
Metaphors are used by Chesterfield, whereby he uses them to portray his son’s values. Chesterfield builds his son up, and provides all the obstacles that could come into his life in the near future. He takes his time to warn his son about the problems, and struggles that he is to face in the future through a metaphor where he says, “thorns and briars which scratched and disfigured me in the course of my youth” (Stanhope 91). He refers to these problems as thorns and briars. He was frightened that his son was going to make the same mistakes he made while he was a youth and so, he had to warn him in advance of what awaits him. He uses metaphors in his warnings just to emphasize his points. Later on, in his warnings to his son; Chesterfield also uses anastrophe in contradicting his points. He uses anastrophe as an understa...

An example of a metaphor is when Heaney describes the berries as a “glossy purple clot”. This smart use of an imagery and a metaphor at the same time gives an image of a ripe berry. There is also a smart use of a simile, “hard as a knot”, for the unripe berries. When Heaney says “hard as a knot”, it sounds rather short, sugge...
The third, and final, metaphor is when Shakespeare is comparing himself to the fire. Shakespeare beautifully states, "In me thou seest the glowing of such fire that on the ashes of his youth lie, as the deathbed whereon it must expire, consumed with that which it was nourished by" (568). . As the fire is dying so is Shakespeare.
The use of metaphors really took the poem “Beowulf” over its set caliber. “Her coffin was a shadow of death in my mind” is an example that shows the extreme usage of metaphors.
A metaphor makes us attend to some likeness, often a novel or surprising likeness, between two or more things (Lycan, 178).
Metaphors are even now seen as an abstract literary ornament, in contrast to the West, where linguistic and cognitive are consolidating by the figurative language. Accordingly, few scholars have previously validated that English is to a great extent a metaphorical language (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980; Lakoff, 1993). In old records of history metaphors in poetry and English prose were to some extent noticed by their boundlessness in approximately every piece of English literary. Nevertheless, thereafter resembling studies of Arabic usage have not been achieved, it is hard to detect if both languages either more metaphorical than the other, as an alternative metaphorical usage possibly could vary. Since there is no consist match to the instrument that is ought to be used in standardizing metaphors through languages. According to Simawe, 2001, recent studies in the West have shown new understating about metaphors, whereas no consistent development in East. Metaphors are still seen as literary beautifications in the East, whereas the West discuss and focus on the linguistic and cognitive foundations of figurative language. Many scholars have confirmed to a great extent that English is a metaphorical language (Lakoff and Johnson, 1980; Lakoff,
