Should you believe those rules? Do you know how a metaphor-driven message intrigues and invites an audience? How, and why, do we use metaphors? Which types of metaphors are of high importance to understand how metaphors operate in our language?

Communication, Rhetoric, Fine Arts, Marketing, Political Science, Sociology, and Anthropology students (among others) interested in careful analysis of cultural public messages will gain from learning metaphoric concepts, terms, and analysis examples in this work.
