Abstract :
Metaphor is a comparison between two terms that is one sentences to other sentences to explore
the nature of one. This research aims to analyzing the metaphor found in Percy Jackson: The
Olympians novel by Rick Riordan. Everyday language is colored with metaphor and we used
metaphor when we find it difficult to describe a thing or an experience because that a metaphor
is a figurative language that describe somethings with a direct comparison with a very deep
meaning. The writer uses a qualitative method because this method is used to understand an
understanding of the reasons, opinions, and motivations that underlie it, this theory also helps to
study the data. The writer applies Beekman and Callow (1974) to found the type in the novel and
Alston (1967) to analyze the meaning in the novel. In the end the writer found fifty the data in
the novel divided to thirteen full comparison (full comparison) and thirty-seven incomplete
comparison (abbreviated comparison). From here prove that is in the novel abbreviated
comparison more dominant that described while makes metaphor was difficult to find the true
meaning from the sentences.
Keywords: Metaphor, full comparison and abbreviated comparison
