As you read That Was Then, This is Now, we will spend quite a bit of time analyzing the characters from the story. Rather than just describing them with adjectives, we will use a variety of metaphors and similes that represent their physical, emotional and developmental traits.
In order to familiarize you with this process, each student needs to post 1 description of a person in his/her life as a COMMENT on this post NO LATER THAN 7 October as we will use these in class on 8 October.
You decide if you will use a metaphor or a simile. Remember--the only difference is that a simile uses "like" or "as" to make the comparison.
Here are 3 examples to guide you:

She’s like an empty box.
ReplyDeleteShe might looks pretty from the outside.
But as you open the box you’ll realise that there’s absolutely nothing there!

she is like a colander.
ReplyDeleteevery thing you tell her she forgets in 5 minutes.
She ask you the same question 100 times, but you still answer her every time.

She is like the sun

ReplyDeletePeter
He is like "Green" energy
ReplyDeleteFull of potential,
that's almost completely untapped.
-Kåre
She is like an old record. Scratched and marked on the surface but full of soul.
ReplyDelete- Janne
A metaphor that uses an inanimate object
ReplyDeleteShe is like an umbrella on a rainy day. She keeps me dry and is always with me when she is needed. But on a warm raining summer day I like the warm water, and thus the umbrella feels like an overprotection.
Kristian
She is like a mountian. Nothing can break or touch her
ReplyDeleteHe's like an extinct Volcano.
ReplyDeleteHuge, terrifying and fierce on the outside.
But peaceful and friendly on the inside.
- Mathias Mørch
My simile:

Boring in the beginning,
But more interesting the further you get.

ReplyDeleteShe is like a dog.
She always reflects whatever feeling you have.
When you are glad she swings ecstatically with her tail.
She follows you everywhere and nowhere.
She is your best friend.
She is like an iceberg. You can only see the top of her. Under the surface there is much more.

He is like a jack in the box
ReplyDeleteYou never know when he is going to come out
but at some point he does
By Mathias P
She is like a volcanic eruption.
ReplyDeleteYou never know when she starts to erupt and when she starts you can't stop her again because all her anger comes out.
It's not funny to be the person it hits but it is funny to irritate her.
Caroline Poulsen
She is like a joke
ReplyDeleteFunny in the start
But annoying if it's told many times.
He is a poem
difficult to understand in the start
but if you dig deeper, you'll end up loving it
Sara Broberg
He is like dental plague if the world was a perfect set of teeth.
ReplyDeleteHe's like a beeping sound in my ear.
ReplyDeleteIt annoys me how i can always hear him. After a few minutes his words turn into nonsens. After a few hours his words turn into a beeping sound i don't know how to turn off!
She's like facebook. The one who always knows what's going on in other people's life. Sometimes it becomes too much, and you just want to turn her off.
ReplyDelete- Emma.
