HEART OF STONE

Good morning / afternoon / evening everyone, depending on when you are reading this. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope you are having an excellent day.

Today we continue our look at some common metaphors that we use in everyday language. 

Today's 1st metaphor is: Heart of Stone

Meaning / Use: We use this metaphor to refer to someone who is emotionally cold or unfeeling.

Example 1: He has a heart of stone; he never shows an ounce of compassion.

Example 2: The manager, with a heart of stone, fired the entire team without hesitation.

Today's 2nd metaphor is: A blanket of snow

Meaning / Use: This metaphor describes a thick layer of snow covering the ground, evoking the image of a soft, comforting blanket.

Example 3: The city looked peaceful under a thick blanket of snow.

Example 4: Last night, a blanket of snow fell silently over the mountains.

👉 I want to give you a chance for some practice, so I encourage you to write your own sentences with one or both of today's metaphors. You can post your writing on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Bluesky) and we will give you feedback about it ASAP.

I  hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
