Help Identifying a Metaphor
During class last week, my teacher was teaching about metaphors, and as with every english class, we got a short assignment to complete for the following week. We were given a random piece of text and were asked to identify all the metaphors (if any) in the text. I came across this piece of text: "And most of his classmates thought of him as bizzare." The part "As bizzare" in the sense of, "tought of him as" being "bizzare". I would like to know if that text or any part of it is a metaphor. Thank you.
