Figures of speech are literary stratagems
that they are used to find more effective
expression, even at the cost of violating the rules
language. They have numerous forms and are
sometimes classified in lexical constructions
at others in simple concordance between words.
In common parlance, however, they are called
simply metaphors, creating
so a synecdoche ie entirely description
with a part thereof.
To better understand, we can compare these
poetic tools to simple operations
Math. The poetic expression is then
completed by the reader with their own imagination.
When you consider the following sentence:
"The lights of the city are like the stars for the boat»
City lights + = + boat stars
the lights are used to move around in the dark
=
the stars are used to navigate in the dark
The lights are like stars.
Here the player itself, including
the metaphor, poetry reaches.
