stealing metaphor


When the teacher asked me to find a metaphor stealing, I really had no clue what it is. However, I still looked for some images with several key words which have the same meaning with stealing. Finally, I thought of plagiarism is also a kind of stealing, a stealing of intelligence. I found this drawing at www.history.ucsb.edu/.../classes/plagiarism.htm . I started to look at carefully the picture to found the idea of a powerful sentence. I saw one hand in the top book was taking a piece of paper of the bottom one and vice versa, another hand in the bottom book was also taking a paper of the top one. It looks like if we steal some one else 's idea, one day that person would do the same thing to us. Furthermore, I found that two hands and books here has created a closed circle. So I decided to use the sentence "The circulation of cause and effect" to warn people not to stealing some body 's things. It is not good for other people, and also not good for you either. Moreover, the radial blur effect behind the text represents for the constant movement of causality. "It you do harm to ones, soon you will get a worse result back".
