Abstract
This research aimed at analysing the Use of Metaphor in Kivuli Kinaishi na Kitumbua
Kimeingia Mchanga. A metaphor is a term or phrase applied to something to which it is not
literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance. This research has critically analysed the
use of metaphor in the choosen texts which are Kivuli Kinaishi (1990) and Kitumbua
Kimeingia Mchanga (2000). These texts are written by Said .A. Mohamed. This research
aimed at showing the types of metaphors used in the texts, their importance in developing
themes and passing of information. In the use of metaphor the writer communicates
indirectly.This research was guided by the stylistics theory.The founder of this theory is
Buffon (1930) who said that style is the way one uses language to pass information. Style is
one's use oflanguage. According to Buffon style can be used to defme a writer, by looking at
someone's work we can link him or her to a certain style. Therefore this research has shown
how this writer has used metaphor to potray information through the texts. This research was
done in the library by reading and analysing the choosen texts and other relevant materials
and resources related to the research problem. The data collected was arranged basing on the
research objectives and analysed according to the research questions, objectives and the
tenets of the stylistics theory by showing the different types of metaphors, explaining how the
metaphors have been important in developing the themes in the text and the information
potraited by the metaphors.The results were presented in a descriptive form. This research
will be of importance to students, scholars and anyone who appreciates literary works.
