Similes
My room is like a cave. The city is like a jungle. The rain is like a shower. The mirror is like your soul. The sheets felt like lamb’s wool. The subway smelled like urine. The dog licked me as if I was a yummy steak. The pigeon soared like an eagle. My stomach grumbled like a monster. My bag was as heavy as a car. The cat hissed like a snake. The dress sparkled like diamonds. The singing group sounded like angels. He gave her a look like it was true love. The chicken was as dry as the desert.
My favorites: Freedom is a motorcycle. Freedom is college. Freedom is money. Freedom is a road. The city is like a jungle. The mirror is like your soul. The cat hissed like a snake. The dress sparkled like diamonds. The chicken was as dry as the desert.
Freedom is age is my favorite metaphor, because to me it is true. As you grow older you are able to do more things like get a drivers license or vote. As well as freedom is college, when you get to college your freedom/ responsibility increases a lot from when you are in high school. Having to do laundry, cleaning up and doing homework without anyone telling you to.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite simile is the chicken was dry as the desert because I just ate some really dry chicken from fresh 5 minutes ago and the desert is a good comparison.
I really liked "Freedom is joy." This is true on so many levels, on the fact that the global pursuit of every oppressed culture is freedom. Even in America, some lifestyles, religions, and political ideas are not completely at liberty. It is also often a subject matter for books and movies. My favorite (and admissibly geekiest) example is "Star Wars." Here, you see a budding rebellion, automatically portrayed as the hero-underdogs that everyone wants to see succeed. What is their goal? Freedom. The Empire has not done any visible damage in the original films. The main characters do not seem to have a problem living a happy, fulfilling life. They have enough to eat, they can apparently go wherever they please. What is missing? The emblem of self government. Freedom.
