It pisses me off how there's so much metaphor use like everyone is trying to be Hemingway and shit.
What's the goddamn point??? Just use a simile, sheesh
Case in point, Catcher in the Rye.

This is where I should have examples. But somehow my mind is blank. Which is a sort of metaphor right there, since I am comparing my mind to something one could write on. I also just realized that when I described our perception as "wrapped up", that is using a metaphor too. Its also amusing that you would use Hemingway and "The Catcher in the Rye" as examples - They both mostly eschew "fancy" writing and metaphors, no? | ||
