Firstly, a simile I could use to describe myself is “I’m about as small as a mouse,” considering I’m one of the smallest kids in my grade. In addition, I could use the metaphor “I’m a night owl,” to explain an aspect of my personality, as I hate everything about mornings (waking up early, the much-too-bright light, etc.) and love evenings and the night (staying up late, the quietness, the colors at dusk, etc.), similar to an owl’s sleep patterns. I could describe my grandmother as a general; she’s strict and stern, but, at the end of the day, she just wants to see you survive the war (the war being life). Finally, an example of a metaphor can be found in the first lines of Queen’s iconic Bohemian Rhapsody: “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? / Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.” Freddie Mercury (the lyricist and vocalist) is not literally caught in a landslide; it’s a metaphor comparing what he is experiencing to the weight and suffocation of a landslide.

The simile that I chose for myself is that I'm as talkative as a rock. A metaphor that could describe me is that I'm an early bird because on weekends I usually get up early and stay up late at the same time just to make the day longer. A simile that could describe my dad is that he's as sly as a snake. A metaphor that could describe my cat, since he's kind of a family member, is that he's also a rock because of how lazy he is with how he sleeps all the time and hunts at night. A metaphor from the song hymn for the weekend is I'm drunk and high even though she's really not.

A simile about me could be," He is as small as a mouse." I am comparing myself to a mouse because I'm not the biggest person. A metaphor is," I could play outside all day, everyday." I am saying this about myself because I love to play outside, but it is not possible for me to stay out there that long. A simile about my dad is," He's as big as an elephant." I am comparing my dad to an elephant because he is a big dude. A metaphor about him is," All he does is eat, sleep, and work." An example of a metaphor in Human Nature, by Michael Jackson. " If this town is just an apple, then let me take a bite." In this Jackson is referring to New York City because it is referred to as "Big Apple." You can eat an apple so he is saying he wants to run the town when he says "let me take a bite." Another example from Elvis Presley's song, "Hound Dog." He says," You ain't nothin but a hound dog, crying all the time." He is comparing a person to a hound dog. Hound dogs are known for whining, or crying, he says this person is a whiner and complainer.

As for my family, "My sister is a brick wall when she goalies a soccer game." & "My mother is a jet plane when she drives down the highway." My favorite song is "Life is a Highway" by Rascal Flats. My quote from that song is “Life’s like a road that you travel on when there’s one day here and the next day gone. Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand; sometimes you turn your back to the wind. There’s a world outside every darkened door; where blues won’t haunt you anymore. Where brave are free and lovers soar; come ride with me to the distant shore. We won’t hesitate to break down the garden gate there’s not much time left today”

A simile people describe me as is "she is as quiet as a mouse." I agree with that simile. I am very quiet and shy so it fits perfectly! My sister is always talking so they don't say she is as quiet. I am not sure what saying would describe her. One of my favorite quotes is " shoot for the moon and if you miss at least you will land among the stars." I have that on my Instagram because I love it so much. Inspirational quotes are the best!
