Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. The first thing to understand is the definition of an extended metaphor. Here is one plus some examples:
An extended metaphor, also called a conceit, is a metaphor that continues into the following sentences. An extended metaphor is also a metaphor developed at great length, occurring frequently in or throughout a work.
Western usage of extended metaphors is thought to have originally been a product of the Renaissance.
[edit]
Examples
* If one starts with the metaphor of The seeds of discontent have already been sown, an extension could be It remains to see whether weed or flower will spring forth.
*
The winds were ocean waves, thrashing against the trees limbs.The gales remained thereafter, only ceasing when the sun went down. Their waves clashed brilliantly with the water beneath, bringing foam and dying leaves to the shore.
In this case, the extensions would then be the second two sentences, "The gales remained thereafter, only ceasing�cand dying leaves to the shore."
* Also, many fables and fairy tales are often extended metaphors.
The extended metaphor is a noun.

To construct an extended metaphor about people who use cell phones in a movie, you could begin by comparing them to a disruptive force that disrupts the flow and focus of the movie experience.
Here's an example of how you could develop the extended metaphor:
"People who use cell phones during a movie are like buzzing mosquitoes in a peaceful garden. Just as mosquitoes irritate and distract, these cell phone users disrupt the peaceful and immersive atmosphere of the movie theater. Their illuminated screens and constant talking draw attention away from the film, making it difficult for others to fully engage and enjoy the cinematic experience.
Like mosquitoes buzzing around, these cell phone users can be persistent and frustrating. Their texts, calls, and social media notifications are distractions that vibrate and invade the otherwise undisturbed silence of the theater. Just as mosquitoes can ruin a peaceful evening outdoors, these cell phone users can ruin the immersive experience of a movie, leaving others irritated and unable to fully appreciate the film.
Furthermore, like mosquitoes that are oblivious to the annoyance they cause, these cell phone users often seem unaware of the disruption they create. They prioritizetheir personal conversations and digital interactions over the shared experience of watching a movie with others. Just as mosquitoes can be oblivious to the discomfort they bring, these cell phone users may not realize the impact they have on those around them.
In conclusion, people who use cell phones during a movie can be likened to buzzing mosquitoes in a peaceful garden. They disrupt the immersive atmosphere, distract from the film, and cause irritation to those around them."
Remember, an extended metaphor is a metaphor that continues into the following sentences. So, to develop an extended metaphor, think about different aspects of the comparison and find ways to elaborate on them throughout your explanation.
