The Assignment: A simile is a type of comparison that uses "like" or "as" to
connect two things in order to illustrate a point.
Examples:
1. Your eyes shine as bright as the stars above.
2. Your beauty is like the sunset, never losing its luster.
Directions: Write a brief story in which you use as many similes as you possibly can
(10 minimum). Your story must be at least 1 page long, typed 12 pt. Times New
Roman, Double spaced.
Consider the following example:
"It was the first day of school, and school was like a heater set on 100 degrees,
burning our arms like a fire pit as hot as the surface of the sun. The air conditioner
had broken like my sister's doll when I stepped on it, crumbling into tiny bits like a
peach cobbler in a pan. I didn't know how I would make it through the day-- just like
I didn't know how I would pass Algebra, a class as difficult as scraping molasses out
of a jar."
