The title of the article is: “Ailing Obama Health Care Act May Have to Change to Survive.” I believe this is an example of a metaphor because diction associated with health, such as “ailing” and “survive,” characterize this health care act.
One of the main ideas mentioned in “Metaphors We Live By” is that argument is war. Strategic usage in words are metaphors because those strategies used in arguing resembles those used in a battle. The headline of this article, “Columbia Peace Deal is Defeated, Leaving a Nation in Shock,” is an example of the idea, argument is war.
The use of the phrase “nailing down” gives the title a more intense tone, and makes it more attractive to potential readers.
Since we were not only limited to looking up Newspaper headlines I found a picture of a Subway Ad that I always see while riding the train; an ad for mattresses by the brand Casper. The image I linked below is a conduit metaphor because with just the phrase ‘The perfect mattress for new parents’ not everyone will understand what new parents usually have to put up with nor may know the context of the phrase. The image helps enlighten the viewer with what the artist wants his audience to understand from the metaphorical phrase shown on the bottom.
“When life depends on it, you use asbestos”
The company’s plant physicians never revealed to the person mentioned in this article that the same person, for 37 years, has been having asbestosis. When you work, you gotta work.
