Similes:
She has as much direction in life as a feather in a light breeze. Barry walked like the kitchen floor was made of antique stained glass as he brought his mom his report card. He was as happy as a Black Lab chasing a stick thrown down the beach. She was as calm as the water’s surface on a bluebird-sky day (to a fisherman, a bluebird-sky day is marked by dead calm waters and high, piercing sun). Marci was as determined as a Terrier down a rabbit hole. Metaphors: Her mind was an Indy track; her thoughts high-pitched whines speeding past. His hands were an aspen’s leaves in a stiff breeze. Her heart was a child’s watercolor, dropped in a puddle. The principal’s voice was a metronome, blending with the tick of detention room clock. When Bruce came at him, Marty was a crayfish caught without cover by a lunker bass.
