The Road as Metaphor

Monday, October 1st, 2007

The road is often used in English to mean a journey. The journey doesn’t have to be a physical one either.

My previous post, titled Beginnings, has several examples of the road being used as a metaphor for learning. Learning is a lot like a journey because they both have a start, an end, and can take a long time. In that post I use road both generally to represent any task that has a beginning, and specifically to represent the task of writing a blog.
