Defined simply as “teaching,” something that is didactic is intended to teach, especially dealing with ethnic or moral lessons  Farenheit 451 is a didactic tale that warns against the notion of ignorance is bliss and the dehumanization of our society.  Gandhi's didactic speeches taught and inspired India’s population to be more tolerant of one another.  She was a didactic person and could teach anyone about anything.

A more pleasant way to convey a possibly unpleasant, offensive, or politically incorrect message. It disguises a harsh truth with a delicate veneer.  Earthly remains vs. corpse  Having to let someone go vs. having to fire someone  full figured vs. fat

A drawn out and continuing metaphor that is found frequently throughout a work. In poetry, an extended metaphor will usually be based on one common metaphor with other related metaphors applied to it.  Sometimes flowing lightly and gently/Moving along with ease/My life is like a river/Sometimes rough and rapid/Longing for some release/Trying to calm the storm/Waiting for the sun to shine overhead/Looking for the rainbow in the sky/My life is like a river (“Extended Metaphor Poem”)  "Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune--without the words, And never stops at all” –Emily Dickinson (Nordquist)  "I graduated from the University of Life. All right? I received a degree from the School of Hard Knocks. And our colors were black and blue, baby. I had office hours with the Dean of Bloody Noses. All right? I borrowed my class notes from Professor Knuckle Sandwich and his Teaching Assistant, Ms. Fat Lip Thon Nyun. That’s the kind of school I went to for real, okay?“ –Will Ferrell (Nordquist)
