It can create connections between two words that could possibly have noting in common. They are used in language even if we don’t know it’s a metaphor.

Metaphors have the power to give someone the courage to fight through their battle or buy a product or even pursue their love. A metaphor is a tool that is used more often than anyone really knows.

Language is a tool that is used every day by every person because it is a way of communication. It has the power to brighten or dulls someone day just by the words that are said. Language can affect someone physical and mentally without even realizing it. This is where metaphors come into play because metaphors leave an effect on a person. A metaphor takes two or more words that could possibly have nothing in common and connect them. This could leave a positive or a negative effect on a person’s mental or physical wellbeing. I think that’s the power of a metaphor because it could encourage someone to fight through their battle and get on with their life or totally give up. Metaphors can create a sense of empower in a person because of the message that they relay or create insecurities within a person. Metaphors are an important tool within language that have the power to effect someone’s mental and physical wellbeing.
