| Using metaphors can enrich your writing. The examples from Anguished English, by Richard Lederer, point out the danger of not understanding the correct manner to use a metaphor: 1. I wouldn�t be caught dead in that movie with a ten-foot pole. 2. She�ll get it by hook or ladder. 3. That�s a very hard blow to swallow. 4. That snake in the grass is barking up the wrong tree. 5. It�s time to swallow the bullet. |
