Metaphor and Simile...  

4/11/2008 12:37 pm	Every year, English teachers can submit their collections of actual analogies and metaphors found in high school essays. Here are the last year's winners... 1- Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had it's two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master. 2- She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli., and he was room-temperature Canadian beef. 3- She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up. 4- Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever. 5- He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree. 6- The revelation that is marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife's infedelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surchage-free ATM machine. 7- The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't. 8- McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavment like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup. 9- Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a snooze. 10- They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picked fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth. 11- The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while. 12- He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something. 13- It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids arounds with power tools. 14- He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up. I have a preference for #3, #11 and #14. Have a beautiful day, Frenchguy. Song of the day : THE BLACK KEYS "Things ain't like they used to be"
