similarity, metaphor, metaphorical meaning, associative sequence, Boris AkuninAbstract
The aim of the paper is to show how much sense the author of a text can convey by using words in the appropriate context. There have been analysed the words: brain, eyes, hands and blood, used by Boris Akunin as names of departments in the Amphibian organization presented in the short story Planet Water. There have been also discussed the associative sequences which may arise when one idea is understood in terms of another. Constant comparing and perceiving the relation of similarity is extremely important in the process of understanding and interpreting reality.
