Oh, Nick
If you need 5, have found some, and now need 5 more, you must have lost, discarded, or ignored the some that you found. Were they not useful, or perhaps they had no stamina?
But Nick, we cannot do your homework for you. Perhaps we should give you some alternate definitions of Metaphor, and some of New york, and that might inspire you to think of your own? We can only hope.
Metaphor: A word or phrase denoting one kind of object or action is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them (as in “the ship plows the seas” or “a volley of oaths”). A metaphor is an implied comparison (as in “a marble brow”), in contrast to the explicit comparison of the simile (“a brow white as marble”). Metaphor is common at all levels of language and is fundamental in poetry.
A metaphor can be thought of as a figure of speech in which one class of things is referred to as if it belonged to another class. Whereas a simile states that A is like B, a metaphor states that A is B or substitutes B for A. Some metaphors are explicit, like Shakespeare's line from As You Like It: “All the world's a stage.” A metaphor can also be implicit, as in Shakespeare's Sonnet LXXIII, where old age is indicated by a description of autumn:
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
]Where yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where once the sweet birds sang.
A dead metaphor, such as “the arm” of a chair, is one that has become so common that it is no longer considered a metaphor.
New York City: A city of southern New York State located on New York Bay at the mouth of the Hudson River. Founded by the Dutch as New Amsterdam, it was renamed by the English in honor of the Duke of York. It is the largest city in the United States, and a financial, cultural, trade, shipping, and communications center. Originally consisting only of Manhattan Island, it was rechartered in 1898 to include the five present-day boroughs of Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. Population: 8,100,000.
Good Luck!
