Extended Metaphor

Definition:The comparison between two groups of things/ ideas throughout more than two sentences.

Example:

And sings the tune--without the words,
And never stops at all,

"And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

"I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me."
(Emily Dickinson)




Significance: Extended Metaphors can help you connect 2 very different ideas throughout 2 or more sentences.
