These readings, as compared to other pieces of writing that we have read this semester, area a lot more interesting and fun to read. The authors aren’t writing from an academic standpoint. Instead, they are trying to inform the general public about certain issues. They are easier to read and are more informative and broad. Tomlinson, in her article, addresses the idea that metaphors are a way to not see writing. I understand where she is coming from, because a metaphor is a comparison not using like or as. It’s indirectly describing something so it isn’t really defining a certain object. I see metaphors almost as guidelines to what an object is, rather than it looks exactly like the metaphor.
