True+Stories

You have explored how writers incorporate figures of speech in their work. You will write your own "True Story" using one of your statements. In your "True Story" you must use at least one metaphor, one simile or one oxymoron.

Metaphor: a comparision between two things that are essentially unlike (her hair shimmered, a halo of gold) Simile: compares two unlike things explicitly, using words such as like, as, than, similar to or resembles(the lamppost was like a guardian in the alley) Oxymoron: a two- or three-word phrase that contains opposit word or ideas (wise fool, sweet sorrow)
