Q) Analyse the use of Dead Metaphors in the speech.
Fluff Writing) “Metaphors, however, are like people: they get old, and they die. A dead metaphor is called a dead metaphor and, perhaps somewhat ironically, a dead metaphor is a dead metaphor; after all, a metaphor, being an abstract notion, is capable of experiencing only a figurative death, not having breath to be taken or life force to be snuffed out.”
