Maren Hartmann Metaphor Theory

Metaphors,
Meta - in the midst, beyond, after, behind, above, transcending' and 'to carry'
Metaphors are used fairly often in speech and writing. it's to be able to describe a word in a literal sense for example: Her cheeks were as red as roses. her cheeks weren't roses but similar. But how does this relate with the internet.
(honestly I have no clue.)

like an example they gave is the transferal meaning described as a move from a source domain to a target domain.... *birds tweet* yup still no clue. Probably would understand more during class. like the is and is not existent in reality ..... WHICH IS IT?!
