Instructions: Do each of the questions below. [This assignment will be marked only as an acceptable or unacceptable effort.]

1. Type a short (roughly 350-500 word) but thoughtful response to some of the arguments made about metaphor in our metaphor readings and class discussions on the topic. Some possible issues to consider: What do some/all of the discussed theories account for and how well do they do that? What limitations and/or problems, if any, are there with applying any/all the ideas in these readingss?
   You can refer back to examples already discussed in-class. You can also introduce a new example to support your points, if needed.
