Metaphor in Political Ads

Discuss the Metaphors in your Ad.

Choose any political advertisement. Post a link to your chosen advertisement below. It can be the same advertisement you described in unit 1, or it can be a different ad of your choice. Please do not choose the ads we discussed in the lectures.

Metaphors can sometimes be subtle and hard to find, so this activity will help you develop your points for the assignment. Explain what you think the metaphors are in your ad and why they are used, their rhetorical effect. Have you noticed all the metaphors? Have you looked for structural and visual metaphors as well?
