This shows that she comes frantically toward the Friar with wild eyes. There is another imagery when he saying that Juliet comes to me and takes the sleeping portion while he write to Romeo tells the plan, but that never happened. From 5.3.252-261 it defines the plan and how it backfired. He tells those lines clearly that you can paint the picture in your…

    Write a four to five paragraph response to the two chapters from Lakoff and Johnson's book Metaphors

    Metaphor is for most people device of the poetic imagination and the rhetorical flourish--a matter of extraordinary rather than ordinary language. Moreover, metaphor is typically viewed as characteristic of language alone, a matter of words rather than thought or action.

Our ordinary conceptual system, in terms of which we both think and act, is fundamentally metaphorical in nature.…
