Simile/Metaphor





We have been discussing simile and metaphor which are figures of speech. Both compare two unlike things. Similes use "like" or "as", and metaphors do not. Writers use them to create a certain feeling for the passage that is being read. Similes and metaphors make the passage more interesting.

Please write a sentence or two about what it would be like to be a potter. You will need to include a metaphor or simile.

Being a potter would make my happiness like a ray of sun on a cloudy day.

To be a potter would be wonderful. I would be moving my hand up and down on wet clay. After glazing it painting it as if I am Da Vinci making the Mona Lisa. Mixing two arts together. As I said before, to be a potter would be wonderful.

I know how it feels to be a potter (I do hand building!). it is stressful, some things are tedious to make, and you have to make it right, or it will crack.

Making a pot is like changing a baby's diaper.
