Special Metaphor Assignment (Blog Post #14)

I didn't catch the metaphor the first time I read the blog post. But after re-reading I understood. I should have just read a little closer the first time I read the assignment. If I had, I would have caught it the first time. I think it is good to use metaphor's. I do sometimes get irritated with metaphors, I also find myself thinking "Just say what you want, stop beating around the bush." But I also agree that they really help you look at things differently and can broaden your understanding of many things. There are metaphors everywhere. I think TV commercials are a good example. Many of them do not come right out and tell you the point. You have to watch the whole thing to figure it out. I guess thats their way to keep you watching.
