Part One:
The room was a fortress.
The room was a dungeon.
The room was a secret.
The boy was a doornail.
The boy was a box of rocks.
The girl was a lightbulb.
Part Two:
The kiss was like heaven.
The boy's hair felt like velvet.
His eyes were as blue as the ocean.
She felt like a million bucks.
As strong as an ox.
i like "the boy was a box of rocks." Even though the noun boy can be replaced with girl as well it is a very humorous way of describing someone. I use it to describe a persons intelligence when they repeatedly make elementary mistakes.
ReplyDeleteI like "she felt like a million bucks" i find this very passionate if that makes sense as in worth of beauty. Another one that caught my attention was "the boy was a box of rocks" because it could be interpreted so many ways if you were to analyze it. Like stubborn or all jumbled up, etc.
ReplyDelete"The room was a dungeon" spoke the most to me. Sometimes when we're alone, a room can seem imprisoning both from solidarity and being in an enclosed space. As an extrovert, I like to be with others in large environments. Being alone in a room for awhile could almost have a dungeon-like effect on me. Other times, a room can feel like a dungeon if it's visited repetitively and one is sick of a routine. I could definitely see this happening if I were stuck at a daily desk job.
ReplyDelete"The room was a dungeon" was a really good metaphor. Sometimes when we are alone in a room, we are trapped inside, emotionally and physically. Sometimes when you're alone in a room, you feel trapped inside your thoughts. Physically, if you're in a classroom or an office, it kind of feels like you are trapped and can't get out. I feel that way in college algebra.
ReplyDelete"The room was a dungeon" was a good metaphor because when you read the word dungeon, you can almost instantly paint a picture in your head. When the reader reads that metaphor they can infer that the character is uncomfortable and unhappy. The word dungeon has a powerful and elaborate context that can be inferred along with it.
