“Were are you going?”shouted Lila. “Im going to explore this cave replied Kobey” “Im coming with you Answered Lila” “Ok then stay behind me”Said Kobey “Ok”replied Lila //Metaphors// are a way to compare to by saying that one thing is another thing. For example, we say somebody is a //fool//. In the past in Europe, a fool was a person who entertained the king or queen by doing silly things. The fool was a kind of clown. He often did crazy or stupid things to make people laugh. So when we call somebody a fool we really mean that he or she is doing something silly or stupid. We don’t really mean that they are somebody who entertains the king or queen. We are using a metaphor. What do we mean when we say these things: When we //say someone is a pig// we really mean that They are dirty and they eat to fast. When we //call someone an angel// we really mean that They are beautiful and they are kind. If we //say someone is a giant// we really mean that They are really tall. When //we call a man an ogre or a woman a witch// we really mean They are really ugly. When somebody plays cards and //we call them a shark//, we really mean that They are good at cards. If we say that //somebody is a volcano ready to explode//, we really mean that:They are about to go psycho. When we say somebody is //bright// we mean that They are outgoing people and smile so much.

Metaphors are imaginative ways to describe something by comparing that thing to something else. For example, if I wanted to say that Dan is tall, I could say that //Dan is a giant//. Use a metaphor to describe somebody who is: tall kind fast slow smart fat sneaky angry He is a giant. She is an angle. He is a cheater. She is a Turtle. He is a Intelligent. She is chubby. He is a ninja. She is Darth Vader. She is a flower. He is not attractive. He is an ogre. He is yoda. She is attractive. He is stupid. He is a pussy.

beautiful ugly stubborn short thin silly scared easily

Similes are a way to compare two things using ‘like’ or ‘as’. For example, if I want to say that somebody //swims well//, I can say they //swim like a fish// because fish swim well. There are two basic patterns that you can use.

verb + like + noun She swims like a fish. He looks like an ogre. She plays like a pro. He walks like a duck. She acts like a fool.

as + adjective + as + noun He is as tall as a giant. She is as fast as a rocket. He is as graceful as a swan. She is as sneaky as a fox. He is as quiet as a mouse.

How could I say that somebody: runs fast as fast as a cheater is pretty Shes is an angle jumps well hes as good as a kangaroo

is strong He’s the strongest ever! How could I say that something: is hard Hard as a stone feels soft is sweet feels rough is heavy sounds noisy is light
