Extended Metaphor Activity Choose an emotion or idea Create an extended metaphor by comparing it to a concrete object outside in the quad (a pothole, a crack in the sidewalk, a particular tree, a decorated window, etc) Come up with 4 ways in which your emotion/idea can be compared to your object. How are they similar?
Example Fear is the heavy, red doors to the cafeteria. How? 1) Fear can completely paralyze you or stop/slow you from doing things. Its heavy and hard to move. Its solid so you cant see through it. 2) Fear exists in most ordinary situations, even when everyone around you is relaxed. Just outside the doors and inside the cafeteria, life goes by at its normal pace – kids eating lunch, laughing, etc.
