   What is an example of a mixed metaphor in literature?

   • In this example from literature, driving is compared to fire in a mixed metaphor: "Jenny was cool the day before the Chemistry paper". Here, 'cool' is used metaphorically to mean calm or collected, while in the next sentence, it is revealed that Jenny is also topped the subject of Chemistry, which can be interpreted as 'excelled' or 'surpassed'. This creates a mixed metaphor as 'topped' is a metaphor for 'excelled' and 'cool' is a metaphor for 'calm'. The passage continues with 'Needless to say, her aunt was her Chemistry teacher'.

   Do metaphors affect the brain?
