What is a Proverb?
Proverbs play a big role in most societies weather we recognize it or not. What is a proverb? American Heritage Dictionary describes a proverb as “A short pithy saying in frequent and widespread use that expresses a basic truth or practical precept.” These are anything that people say that demonstrate some sort of truth about their society or morality, but they usually incorporate literary devices such as metaphor, alliteration or rhyming in order to make them ‘catch phrases’. Here is an example of an American Proverb.
