Metaphorically speaking
A metaphor turns one thing into another. Start with the statement:
A road is a road for cars.
and see how many roads (and paths and byways) you can come up with that carry something from one place to another.
- An artery is a road for exhausted blood leading back to the heart.
- The internet is a superhighway for spam.
- School is a potholed dull path to college that they’ve been promising to pave for decades.
- A river is snowmelt’s road from mountain to ocean.
- Pretend is a road to anywhere.
- A lecture is a pathway to sleep.
