Metaphors are around us all the time, but not everyone realizes it. I never realized it until recently. I have read a few essays about metaphors the past couple of weeks that have helped me truly understand metaphors impact. A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. Metaphors affect people’s health, lives, learning, and much more, in a positive and negative way. Some believe that metaphors are a key factor to our success, while I do not.

1. You are entering a conversation about whether or not the impact of metaphors are a key factor to our success.
2. The main topics of this paper include how metaphors affect the health and lives of people and whether or not their impact is profound.
3. You are writing about the impact of metaphors on our lives as a whole.
4. This conversation matters because it examins the importance of metaphors within our lives.
5. Even though metaphors have the potential to impact the lives of people, they are not a factor to our own personal success.
I really like your argument so far. It is an interersting stance on metaphors that we haven’t examined too deeply in class yet though it is very important. Your introduction was even more effective in carrying out your thoughts because you included points on how metaphors are able to impact our lives but then countered it with stating that in spite of this, they are not the key factor within our success. I would just suggest elaborating a little more on your points and including information about the three essays within your introduction and then you will be all set!
