Hi,

Reflection #6: Metaphor scavenger hunt! Scour our campus for metaphors—in the cafeteria, on bulletin boards, in text books, out of people’s mouths, in posters, anywhere! Make a list of ten of your favorites and write about what the metaphor is attempting to convey to its audience—and its success in achieving its aims.

Feel free to be creative and even a bit casual in tone (though you do need to cite any sources you use). and I need 2 pages on this essay.

Thank you
