COMMON METAPHORS: A Structural Study Through Absolute Composition introduces middle-school readers to thirty familiar literary metaphors through short poems constructed from observable systems and everyday experience.
Drawing on works by Emily Dickinson, Langston Hughes, Robert Frost, William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Maya Angelou, and others, the book examines the structural relationships underlying familiar metaphors such as hope is a bird, life is a staircase, time is a thief, and anger is fire. Each metaphor is organized through a three-part structural relation, or triad, and explored through a separate physical system that exhibits comparable behavior.
Rather than asking what an object symbolizes, COMMON METAPHORS encourages readers to begin with a different question: How does this behave? Through movement, pressure, persistence, containment, loss, transformation, and other observable relations, students learn to identify structural correspondence while developing close-reading and analytical skills.
Designed for middle-school English language arts, poetry, and literary study, COMMON METAPHORS offers students and educators an accessible introduction to Absolute Composition and a distinctive approach to understanding how metaphor works.
