Since we consider the phenomenon of metaphor in the press material, it is necessary to consider the peculiarities of functioning of the publicist style. Journalistic style characteristic of the social-political sphere of communication is implemented in writing articles in newspapers and magazines with political and other socially important topics, as well as verbally in speeches, on radio and television, rallies, meetings, etc. This style of speech is heterogeneous; this heterogeneity is visible to the integrity and unity of style. So, separate sub styles (newspaper, radio, and television journalism etc.) have similar features of journalism.

For this thesis paper required descriptions of the author's personal experiences as examples supporting her basic argument. John Steinbeck is one of the greatest storytellers of the 19th century. The winner of the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature, he has been called "a giant of American letters". His works are widely read abroad and many of his works are considered classics of Western literature. His amazing novellas Tortilla Flat (1935), Of Mice and Men (1937), The Red Pony (1937), The Grapes of Wrath (1939), Cannery Row (1945), The Pearl (1947) .etc. not only introduce readers realistic cost of characters, real surrounded life, but also tell intriguer stories of the lives of real people. Steinbeck's characters are not rich men and women with plush and with decorated lives, but are the homeless, migrant workers, poor fishermen, farmers and even forgotten American people. However, each of these people is important story to tell; a story which filled with love and pain. His stories tell us not only of the lives of the poor who seek to live in the seacoast of California and Mexico with fascinating boom days, but also the struggle of all poor people. Steinbeck's first commercial success as a novelist came with the publication in 1937 «Of Mice and Men», his most famous novel, a tragic saga of migrant laborers from Oklahoma. «Of Mice and Men» is one of the only published novels written from an obscure point of view called the objective third person, in contrast to the omniscient third person. So the readers can read the minds of all the characters… Such approach is typical which helps to explain why «Of Mice and Men» were easily adapted. Of Mice and Men is more complex of Steinbeck's short books is a simple short story with rich meaning. It's simple short easy-to-read plot, during story themes are more visual and characters make it most compatible for more mature readers. It is an excellent choice for the readers to experience the difficulty, reading complex and being capable to mature material… The author searched that, like most tragedies, this story also has a climax and tragic conclusion. When «Of Mice and Men» opens, we meet two migrant guys just coming off road trip to Salinas, California; George and Lennie. They are opposite but with unique relationship. Actually, Lennie the tragic hero is simple minded, George is the brains. Two opposite relationship have a dream about owning a farm together. The trouble is in beginning. During introducing themselves Lennie become George's cousin. During two chapters all important and main characters have been introduced. Throughout the entire story George and Lennie travel around together. " …They had walked in single file down the path, and even in the open one stayed behind the other. Both were dressed in denim trousers and in denim coats with brass buttons. Both wore black, shapeless hats and both carried tight blanket rolls slung over their shoulders… " [1, 4] Everyone who sees Lennie-strong, tall from such appearance he understands wrong that to harm. George each time says " …I didn't mean any harm, honest I didn't, I jus' wanted to pet 'um a little… " Lennie is still smiling over his delight.
