Reading 5.4

The presenters of this topic are Fandi, Hafiz and Maryam. I can give a comment that three of them didn’t try to understand the keyword of their topic which is ‘Metaphor’. They duly discuss their topic together and come up with the best presentation. Reading 5.4 talk about ‘Metaphor’ in term of perspective and ideology in language. The writer focuses on the explanation of the relationship between the writer’s choices of metaphor and how these choices may influence the reader. Metaphor itself is a form of imagery in which something is called the thing that we are comparing it to. Metaphor also can be understood by the way of describing something by giving it the qualities of something else, as in our eagle-eyed readers soon spotted the mistake. Metaphor will require the writer to use one best word or one phrase to replace some particular sentence, which means avoid from use straight forward language to refer it.
