What a Figure Asks of the Reader
Captions available
The idea
A comparison invites the reader to carry properties from the vehicle across to the tenor, and to carry only some of them. Deciding which properties travel is the interpretive work, and an effect question is usually asking exactly that.
In practice
Only some properties travel across.
Where people slip
Deciding which is the whole work.
