> Richards divided the class into three groups. Each group was asked to write a paragraph describing language. However, Richards provided each group with its first sentence.
Group A had to begin with “Language is like a tree”;
Group B with
“Language is like a river”;
Group C with
“Language is like a building.”...Our discussion centered on how metaphors control what we say, and to what extent what we say controls what we see.
