Question

Define metaphor

Answer 1

A metaphor is a type of figurative language.

It's where we compare two things, using the words "is" or "are."

For example: "I am a cow."

It's a figure of speech, because I'm not LITERALLY a cow.
It's not meant to be taken literally.
It just means that I'm fat and oafish.

Answer 2

A metaphor is a literary figure of speech that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some point of comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object. Metaphor is a type of analogy and is closely related to other rhetorical figures of speech that achieve their effects via association, comparison or resemblance including allegory, hyperbole, and simile. from wiki
