Geary Annotations

My second experience with Geary was a lot more informative than the first. When I first watched the video and read the transcript I still didn’t understand what he was really saying but now reading over it and annotating made me think about the message more. I feel like annotating articles helps think about the what the words are saying instead of just reading the words. He is basically saying metaphors are used every single day more than we think and when we don’t even expect to use them. This text has made me more familiar to metaphors and now I can catch when I use a metaphor in real life. This also made me realize people can’t describe something without comparing it to something else which is just like using a metaphor. Something that stands out to me in my “conversation” with Geary is that somebody can have the same metaphor that pertains to their life but it can mean something different to them than it does to me. Someone could look the metaphor I chose and think its KiKi and someone else can look at it and think its Bouba.
