Hunter Swoop | English2021 - The Forest
(Left side)The tree stands tall as if it's a wall. As they tangle their branches as they hug each other.
(Right side) The other side is the opposite world. As if they hate each other because of the spacing between them.
(Around the middle) The dirty water is seen as it reflects the tall trees.
(The top of the middle) The orange leaves give me a path where I believe I had walked where I explore the mysterious forest.

Simile & Metaphor | English2021
Hello everyone, in English we are learning about Simile & Metaphor. We are supposed to put them answer them and also put them in order if they are simile or metaphor. Here are the questions and the answers that I answered.
Copy these sentences onto your blog and highlight the simile in each:
- My bedroom was as black as a cave in the depths of the earth.
- The classroom after school became as noisy as a gaggle of gabby geese.
- The cat capered along the fence top like a tightrope walker on the hire wire.
- My anger crashed into me like waves against the shore.
The cloth was as black as coal.
The wet ball was as slippery as an eel.
My little sister is as playful as a kitten.
The top of this table is as smooth as silk.
I’ve been as busy as a bee.
The lamb is as white as snow.
For each of these sentences is it a simile or a metaphor?
As slippery as an eel. - Simile
Arnie was a man-mountain. - Metaphor
He was a lion in battle. - Metaphor
She is as pretty as a picture. - Simile
The striker was a goal machine. - Metaphor
The torch-lit up the room as if the sun had already risen early. - Simile
The moon was a misty shadow. - Metaphor
My friend has a face like thunder. - Simile
Have a go at writing some Similes and Metaphors of your own:
- Her hair is smooth as silk
- The coffee looks like a dark oak.
- She is tall as a tree.
- Her face is a red tomato.
- His face is picture like.
