Share your metaphor and describe what could happen if someone does not use critical thinking when encountering that metaphor.

my own metaphors is " African men are irons"

This simply means that African men are strong.

But when someone gives a literal meaning to the sentence, the person may think that African men are made of irons, instead of human flesh, or that African men are very rigid and heavy. Such person may also assume a robot made of iron, to be an African man.

To understand this, the person has to give it a critical thinking, in these way;

•for anything to be called a man, that means it should be a living human.

• Iron are strong metals, that are very difficult to break.

• Therefore for an African man to be an iron, that means an African man will be very difficult to break, which simply means that African men are strong.
