She felt like a pile of rocks.
The dog ran like a cheetah.
The bus feels like a rickety jeep.
A first down is like snow in the desert around her.
The clock was as loud as a freight train.
The cat roared like a lion.
The man was sweating like a pig.
The closet was like a dungeon.
The TV is like a vacation to me while I was grounded.
The game felt like a movie.
The hands seemed like claws.
The air felt like a sharp cut to my face.
The desk was like a couch when my friends were over.
My bed is like a cloud.
Her legs ran like a wolf chasing prey.
I like the metaphor of "the car is a burst of lightning" because it not only goes to my sense of sight, but it also attracts my sense of touch. Using the car as a burst of lightning gives the reader a distinct image in his head, one where a car accelerates and all of a sudden disappears, gone before it even happened. Using it as lightning though also gives me a feel, of somewhat adrenaline and excitement. When one sees a bolt of lightning, he feels something happen within him, also as if lightning has struck within his own body.
ReplyDeleteI also like the simile "the clock was as loud as a freight train" because everyone can relate to the alarming sound of a clock as it wakes you up in the morning. Even though it is not more than just a sound or a melody, it can be so abrupt and intrusive that it hits you, not only like the sound of a freight train, but also like the actual train itself.
I really liked your two metaphors saying "the car is a fireplace in the dead winter" and "the car is an umbrella in the rain". The car is always a good shelter. Especially when it is cold and rainy outside!
ReplyDeleteI also liked your simile "my bed is like a cloud", it shows really well the impression we have after a tiring day when going to bed. It is as comfortable and soft as a cloud.
I really liked the metaphor "the car is a travel agent". I liked this one because it essentially is, a car is what gets you from point a to point b, similarly to a travel agents which plans out how you are going to get from place to place.
ReplyDeleteI also really liked your simile "My bed is like a cloud". Clouds always appear to be very fluffy and people only imagine how soft and comfortable they must be, comparing your bed to a cloud is essentially implying how soft and comfortable it must be.
