Metaphors are not often seen as an important part of human society. They are a vocab word that students are often taught in english class to be used when analyzing a piece of literature. It is very easy to never recognize the important role that metaphors play in our society’s culture. Though most people do not notice it, we use metaphors constantly throughout our daily lives and they help us interpret a better understanding of the world around us. Metaphors can also play a critical role in a person’s mental health. Metaphors can affect how a person perceives certain situations that can alter mental health. If a metaphor causes a person to identify a specific concept negatively or positively, this can affect how said person views certain parts of life, which can affect mental health. The results of a person’s mental health often translates to how they take care of themselves and their physical health as well. Though they are often a hidden part of our language, metaphors play an important role in people’s health.

I like all of the information you integrated. I saw the “they say” at the beginning and I think it referred to the general public. If you added the words “I say” maybe to the 4th sentence, that would be good to clearly show the “they say” “I say” template. Only if you want to show it that way.
I like how you added your view on how it affects mental health. You could also add some text or information from Erard, Geary or/and Khullar if you wanted to use facts to support your thesis.
1.) You are giving me information about why metaphors are an important part of human society with a slight “they say” statement.
2.) the main topic is how much we use metaphors, and how they can alter mental health- they ultimately play an important role in people’s health.
3.) the scope of the argument is mainly about how metaphor affects the mental and physical health of humans.
4.) I don’t really think I see anything that’s at stake or I just don’t understand the full meaning of the question.
5.) Metaphors play an important role in people’s health.
6.) you clearly address the central questions of the prompt.
