Transcript


00:01	Yeah . In this video we are going to learn
00:09	about metaphors . That's a fun word to say isn't
00:12	it metaphors ? You're gonna understand what metaphors are and
00:17	how to use them 1st . What is a metaphor
00:23	? What is a metaphor ? Well a metaphor is
00:29	a way of comparing two things . It's not the
00:33	only way to compare two things but it's a very
00:36	interesting and creative way of comparing two things . You
00:43	might have seen examples of metaphors in books and in
00:46	poetry . And there's a really big chance that you
00:52	use metaphors in your everyday speech is you're speaking to
00:55	people . We just use metaphors from time to time
00:58	. And bob loves using metaphors when he speaks to
01:01	me . He loves comparing things now . Really creative
01:04	way metaphors are unique because they compare things without using
01:12	the words like or as and we're gonna look at
01:16	some examples . At first they're going to look a
01:18	little bit weird but then you'll get the hang of
01:21	it and you'll see how fun they are to use
01:26	. Here's an example . Ben was a cheetah at
01:30	the race today . Ben was a cheetah at the
01:34	race today we are comparing in this sentence Ben to
01:38	a cheetah because he went so fast and cheetahs are
01:42	the fastest land animals in the world . So we're
01:45	comparing then to a cheetah , it's a metaphor because
01:50	we're making this comparison without using the words like or
01:55	as yeah , we mentioned earlier that metaphors can sound
02:02	silly . That's because in our example , Ben is
02:05	not really a cheetah , even though we said Ben
02:08	was a cheetah at the race today . It's a
02:11	way of comparing that makes it sound like there's no
02:14	difference between them at all . Let's look at our
02:20	metaphor again . Ben was a cheetah at the race
02:24	Today is a metaphor . It's comparing Ben to the
02:27	cheetah and it's not using the words like or as
02:32	okay , let's pretend we did use the word like
02:38	or as what if our example was Ben was like
02:42	a cheetah at the race today . That makes it
02:45	a different type of comparison . Called a simile .
02:49	A simile . A simile is different than a metaphor
02:54	because a simile makes a comparison using the words like
02:58	or as remember metaphors are comparisons that do not use
03:07	like or as metaphors , metaphors are comparisons that do
03:16	not use like or as look at this example the
03:20	snow was a white blanket on the ground . The
03:25	snow was a white blanket on the ground . Yeah
03:30	. In this metaphor we are comparing the snow to
03:34	a blanket . Mhm Yeah notice you don't see the
03:40	word like or as this is definitely a metaphor because
03:44	it's a comparison that is not using the word like
03:47	or as let's think back to our examples , the
03:52	first one , Ben is compared to a cheetah and
03:55	he is called a cheetah . The comparison doesn't use
03:59	the word like or ask . So that was a
04:01	metaphor . A metaphor speaking to how fast Ben was
04:06	running . Yeah . In our second example the snow
04:13	was compared to a blanket . The metaphor said that
04:17	the snow was a blanket on the ground . That's
04:21	a comparison that is not using the word like or
04:26	as Mhm The second metaphor speaks to the appearance of
04:31	the snow on the ground . Mhm metaphors a metaphor
04:39	is a comparison that does not use the words like
04:42	or as look at this example . Mhm . Learning
04:48	is a piece of cake with home school pop .
04:51	This is a good example . Learning is a piece
04:54	of cake with home school pop . This is a
04:57	metaphor comparing the learning that you get with home school
05:00	pop to cake to a piece of cake . A
05:07	piece of cake is a common metaphor speaking to how
05:10	easy something is . Just like it's easy to eat
05:13	a piece of cake . Learning with Home School Pop
05:16	in this example is easy . This is the metaphor
05:19	learning is being compared to a piece of cake without
05:24	using the words like or as metaphors are comparisons that
05:32	do not use like or as they're simple , they're
05:37	fun and they are a creative way of comparing two
05:41	things . I am a block of ice . Know
05:47	that that's not a metaphor . I'm not comparing myself
05:49	but I'm frozen . Okay . Big eyes , cute
05:54	. Mr Whiskers was in this lab with me .
05:56	Mr was Mr Whiskers . This ice is melting .
06:00	Shouldn't take too long . Where's Mr West cars ?
06:05	Where are no metaphors ? A way of comparing two
06:12	things without using like or as But this is not
06:15	a matter for I'm frowns on . Thanks for hanging
