Metaphor Assignment
Structure
Creative thinking is a gateway that links the materialistic world to the endless possibilities of human imagination, embracing feelings and ideas that humans have into an idea that can be easily understood by others.
Word Pool
Gateway: a means of access or entry to a place
Materialistic: excessively concerned with material possessions; money-oriented.
Imagination: the faculty or action of forming new ideas, or images or concepts of external objects not present to the senses.
Embracing: hold (someone) closely in one's arms, especially as a sign of affection.

Restructure
We as a society must find a GATEWAY that allows for the MATERIALISTIC world to live in harmony with the abstract IMAGINATION of the mind, that can EMBRACE and UNDERSTAND all of the creative thinkers of the world.
Felt Experience
We must all embrace our differences. It is what makes us unique. It allows us to be collaborative. My internship at General Dynamics, Electric Boat allowed me to collaborate to achieve a purposeful outcome. Without different personalities and skills, we would have not been able to complete the task.

Dichotomy
As a group, Andrew and I were able to use these 6 words to describe the metaphors that we came up with. We decided that these words fit suit best and were able to get the point we wanted to convey. Each of these words represents different feelings, emotions, and symbols.
Unify words to connect
Gateway:a means of achieving a state or condition.
Materialistic: anything that exists.
The gateway that we a society set up enables us to take materialistic things and look at them in a more creative way
Felt Experience
I had to make myself vulnerable in able to achieve the goal I wanted. A full-time offer for the position I had been working for. I made this known that I was going to get it no matter what it took. I am using the skills I acquired in the fishbowl (creative process, deep thinking, etc.) in my everyday routine.

This assignment allowed for the creative process to start at the beginning of the semester. It was the beginning of the fishbowl. Where we are going to make mistakes but we must embrace them in able to become better. I better understand the fishbowl as we are nearing the end of our journey.
