Metaphors are a common example of figurative language that students

are exposed to as early as elementary school. At that level, metaphors
are often taught as the companion to the simile, which is a comparison
of two unlike things using like or as, while the metaphor is a
comparison that does not use like or as. As students begin to read
increasingly challenging texts, they run into more complicated
metaphors. Simple metaphors transition to more challenging examples
of figurative language that are sometimes more difficult for students to
identify and understand. The extended metaphor is a longer metaphor
that builds throughout multiple sentences or paragraphs.
What can you infer about metaphors as reading levels increase?
