Some attention-grabbing metaphors (for better or for worse) found in high school papers:<\/p>\n
\u201cHe spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used to dangle from screen doors and would fly up whenever you banged the door open again.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMcBride fell twelve stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty Bag filled with vegetable soup.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you\u2019re on vacation in another city and Jeopardy<\/i> comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHer eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHer vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHer date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a movie, this guy would be buried in the credits as something like \u2018Second Tall Man.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLong separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at fifty-five miles per hour, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of thirty-five miles per hour.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe politician was gone but unnoticed, like the period after the Dr on a Dr Pepper can.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJohn and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe thunder was ominous sounding, much like the sound of a thin sheet of metal being shaken backstage during the storm scene in a play.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe red brick wall was the color of a brick-red Crayola crayon.\u201d<\/p>\n
