Blog #8

A phone is a portal. A phone is a house. A phone is a call. A phone is a person. A phone is a message. A phone is a building. A phone is a friend. A phone is a step.  A phone is a bridge. A phone is planet. Love is pain. Glasses are the world. Glasses are sight. Glass is a window. Glass is a reflection. Glass is a mirror. Glass is a house. Glass is a home. Glass is a shop. Glass is the night. Fire is perfection. Fire is life. Fire is joy. Fire is a table. Fire is a lamp. Fire is a person.

His hands were like silk. The sun was as warm as her heart.  Hey eyes were like the sunset. The boys hair as slick as a serpent. The girl was as calm as the sea. Her hair flowing like a waterfall. The air smelled like Christmas. The air smelled like adventure. The room felt like an icicle. His eyes like darts. The woman’s fingers hard as rock. The sand as soft as a pillow.

For incorporating similes and metaphors into my story I feel like it would be best to do it in terms of the scenery.  I feel as if I use the metaphors or similes to describe the character it will be a bit of overkill for the “love” I am going for in my story; Subtle and realistic versus something fairy tale. The ones I would consider using in my story could be the metaphors for glass or the beach. Or maybe the descriptions of the hair or eyes in the similes.

  1. I really like the simile "His eyes are like darts." It perfectly describes the striking sense of eye contact, whether it be awkward romance, heated hatred, or imminent fear. I also really like your metaphor "Glass is the night" since it reminds me of staring at a glass of wine, with the shines of the surface like the night sky.

  2. I really like your first metaphor "A phone is a portal." That's so true how a phone literally transfers our voices from one person to another. I don't know why I have never thought of it in that way, but I think that was a cool and different way to think of a phone.
