Metaphor - Assignment 10 James Madison University

Instructions: [This assignment will be marked only as an acceptable or unacceptable effort.]

1. Take any existing metaphor, conventional or novel, and try to apply it to either the Great Chain of Being Metaphor, the Complex System Metaphor, or the Event Structure Metaphor. Conversely, you could try to challenge the idea of metaphor systems if you wish by finding a metaphor you think does not fit into these three models, but make sure to try and back up your claims as best as you can.
