The Use of Body Metaphors in Contemporary Text
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing the use of body metaphors in contemporary text. Metaphors within contemporary text are used to emphasize particular events, situations, emotions or physical states and are considered by some that today “one cannot think without metaphors”. The use of body metaphors within text is easy to grasp for all readers who can relate more so to images related to the body that with objects to which they have little association. There are two different types of body metaphors used most frequently in text and conversations. Firstly, within text, body parts can be used to emphasize a particular function of an object in relation to its whole. This is common in political functions such as in instances of “head of state”, “body of the assembly”, “arms of the network” and “military footmen”; all which emphasize the function of that person, place or object within the system as a whole. Another type of body metaphor is in reference to the feelings within a body itself such as when an individual describes himself as being “torn in two”, “up against a wall”, or “hot-blooded” in which individuals may use metaphors to explain a state or condition and are often considered as “images of speech” and in the case of psychiatric counseling the “metaphor captures their feelings and beliefs about themselves”.

The Use of Metaphors in Judy Ruiz’s Essay “Oranges and Sweet Sister Boy”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the use of metaphors in Ruiz’s essay “Oranges and Sweet Sister Boy”. Judy Ruiz’s 1988 essay “Oranges and Sweet Sister Boy” tells of the experience and feelings a woman has when her brother informs her that he is having a sex change operation and will now be her “sister”. In an effort to grasp this realization, the narrator tells the story of her and her brother through a series of flash backs which seem to help clarify for her that her brother’s decision is his own and he seems to be happy with it. Another method the narrator uses to clarify the situation for herself is her use of metaphors, the most prominent being the orange, which symbolize aspects of life and how well life in lived. In addition to the orange metaphors, the narrator also uses other fruit and food metaphors to describe personalities, as well as sexual metaphors, clothing metaphors and lingo used within the mental health system. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
