Clue 6

1a. Metaphor is a part of figurative language that makes comparisons between two unlike things with out using the words like or as. The comparisons are often of the things that are not related to each other. It's used to enhance understanding and expression. There are dead metaphors and living metaphors. Living metaphors are those that are considered novel and the dead ones are that are incorporated into normal usage. The difference of these two are not decisive. Similes are a part of figurative language that is often poetic and is a comparison of things using like or as. Like metaphors, similes are at most times a comparison of things that are unrelated to each other.

1b. Authors use figurative language so that there piece of writing is more artistic. What I also think is that authors may want to express there ideas in such a way. That there feelings or experiences had that type of feeling and they use figurative language to express it. I also think that authors are in a mood to always make the readers want to question and think about these things that they are writing about. That they are not in the mood or think it is more better if they never directly state the thing or idea but let the reader think about what it is. That to let them figure out by themselves is always more fun for the author to do so.

2. Three metaphors that I think are interseting are:
In my prime I established an empire, in the end, I closed its chapter.
I think this one is interesting because it states that in prime time, things are good, but in the end, it comes to nothing. What is also interesting is that it states that he, the one who created, also destroys it.

A lifetime is a day, death is sleep; a lifetime is a year, death is winter.
I think this poem is intereseting in that it states that lifetime is a day and death is sleep. When your dead, you are not moving like you're sleeping. When you're dead, you're cold so that is well on with death is winter. I think that maybe, its a case that lifetime is a day as in unless if you don't take a nap, your awake. Also it could represent that life time is a day as in one day, where you waking up is a sign of birth and that you sleeping in the night is a sign of death.






3. "I am the resurrection and the life." John chapter 11 verse 25.

4. This metaphors reveals about God's world in that his world is the ultimate truth. It shows that his world is the ultimate greatness. That anyone who lives in it, wether its in heaven or on Earth has not spiritually died but is living. It reveals about my understanding of it in that although I am very sinfull, I do understand what God's world is like.
