Cultural Metaphor

Culture is the way of life an individual relates to. My culture is family oriented. My family provides many aspects of my culture, such as what religion I am, and what food I eat. One of my favorite cultural aspect is playing horse shoes.








A metaphor is relating one thing to another in a figurative way. One such example of a metaphor that relates to my culture is a tree. A tree represents family. A picnic bench can be a metaphor about family. It represents spending time together eating. The tool box is a metaphor for my family. It represents hard work. My culture is about working hard.
