                                                                                  Written by Alec, Jessie, Anonymous, Anonymous

                                                                                  Metaphor - A figure of speech used to compare to two things without using the words like or as.

                                                                                  Example from the text:
                                                                                  “I tried to climb into Jem’s skin and walk around in it” (57).

                                                                                  For example, when Scout says “I tried to climb into Jem’s skin and walk around in it,” (57) she didn’t literally try to get into his skin. She was just trying to understand how he felt, by looking at his problems through his eyes.

                                                                                  Example from the text:
                                                                                  “Your name's longerin’ you are. Bet it’s a foot longer” (7).

                                                                                  Another example is when Scout says “your name's longerin' you are. Bet it’s a foot longer” (7). She means that he is short and his names much longer. She is using a metaphor to prove her point.

                                                                                  Our example:
                                                                                  Picture
