Lady, EVOLVED 
a metaphor is…
• when something in a story is made to stand in for something in real life?
• a figure of speech which equates a thing with something else which has similar qualities?
strongly disagree with preliminary results here
@Lady the furmer is the more interesting device but idk that i’d call it a metaphor
@aescling so when you think people are speaking metaphorically that means they are saying “her smile was a sunrise” a bunch
@aescling as opposed to “speaking metaphorically” meaning telling an invented story which is made to stand in for something real, which was the first option in the poll
