This work is based on the findings that the author of the Letter of Discovery, Pero Vaz Caminha had to use some linguistic resources to inscribe in his text some data regarding the unexpected situations of the 16th century Portuguese people. These situations regard to the colonial project as a whole and, therefore, to the Discovery of Brazil. Among the main objectives, there are those geared towards the comprehension of the ideological reasons of the Letter's writer, as well as the relationship between ideology and the use of figure of speech present in the document written by him. George Lakoff and Mark Johnson found that the language used is a wide metaphorical system. Using as basic reference the analysis methodology of figures of speech suggested by these Researchers, the analysis was carried out on the figured speech that is part of the Letter. By this work, we come to the conclusion, that the ideological conditions linked to the context of the Discovery of Brazil justify the use of such linguistic resources, such as the figured speech. This is not only an option, since it is linked to the specific and essential needs, including the comprehension of the ideological conditions
