What are the wild fruits on the roadside like?

Wild fruits on the roadside, such as rubies and small apples, are so beautiful that passers-by seldom pay attention to them and no one picks them. Metaphors must be easy to understand. That is, we must use specific things that people are very familiar with to compare things that people are unfamiliar with or unfamiliar with. If this is not the case, then the purpose of metaphor will not be achieved. For example, the wild fruit and the small apple in the sentence are all things that can be seen everywhere in daily life, and it is easy to understand by metaphor.

The following aspects should be paid attention to when using metaphors.

One, two things are a little similar. When using metaphor, we should first make clear what characteristics of the ontology we want to express, and then actively associate and imagine according to this characteristic to find something similar to the ontology but completely different. If there is no similarity, it is not a metaphor. For example, a student wrote her classmate in her composition: "She smiled so sweetly, like a cantaloupe."

This classmate didn't understand the different meanings of "sweet". "Smiling sweetly" means that the facial expression is well stretched, not sweet in taste, which is not quite like "cantaloupe", so I made a joke.

Second, the easy-to-understand, appropriate and vivid metaphor should be familiar to most readers and listeners, and it should be appropriate to arouse the imagination and interest of readers and listeners. The allusion of "salt in the air can be imitated, catkins don't follow the wind" illustrates this truth.

The same composition is titled "What a heavy snow", and it is more appropriate for a classmate to write "I stepped on this white sponge gently". Another student compared snow to "frozen tofu", which is not appropriate enough; Another student wrote that "everything is white, just like a war, and every position is occupied by snow", which is even more inappropriate.
