When the two things are compared at some length and in several ways. 2. It is a longer comparison Questions to ask yourself as you read: What is the Metaphor? How are the characteristics of the second noun used to describe the first noun?

Crafting the Lesson (We) Life is Dirt The longer you hang on the smaller it gets. Get it wet, and you've got mud on your hands. Take care of life or it's overrun with weeds. Life can be rocky or smooth and it's great for throwing at people. What is the extended metaphor in this poem? List characteristics of the two things being compared. Was the metaphor used through the entire poem? If so, then we have an extended metaphor.
