Similes & Metaphors

Simile: A comparison between two similar things using like or as. It kinda creates like a vivid description for the reader to understand what the writer is trying to describe. In writing it shows us a better picture of where the setting takes place, the description of the characters, and description for almost anything. Using simile in writing will definitely make the writing better.

A Hug From A Mother

By: Byron Cevallos

       A hug is like a blanket,

Warm and comfortable.

But a hug from your mother,

Is aspriceless as a ruby.

Metaphor: A metaphor is basically a simile without using the words "like" or "as". It also describes comparison between two or more things. This also is something huge that will help in making your writing better if you put metaphors. People often use more simile than metaphors cause similes are easier to make. 

Her Love

By: Byron Cevallos

       Her love is the adrenaline in my heart,

The lifeline that pumps through my soul.

And every time she’s in my arms,

She fills my veins with life.

Remembrance of Martin Luther King Jr.

The rights that we take for granted were fought by many Civil Rights leaders including Martin Luther King Jr! Dr. King explained in his last speech that "I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land." Dr. King hoped that  that even though they did not live in a world of equality, he knew that one day, equality will be achieved for we the people in the near future. If Dr. King would come into my class tomorrow, he would be mostly proud and some what disappointed.

Dr. King would be proud because of what he sees in my classroom is of mixed backgrounds. He would see that a white teacher is able to teach students that are hispanic, black or any other race. He knew that one day that there will be equality in the United States and he was right. He would also be proud of how we have been using our Civil Rights. He would see that we have a black president that is elected 2 times now. He knew that one day everything that he had hoped would come true will come true.

He would also be disappointed. He would be more disappointed towards my school. Most of the students sag their pants, be in gangs, and even saying many curse words. He would see that we used our Civil Rights in the wrong form from what we do in school everyday. He would probably make another speech that talks about people that misuse the Civil Rights like how my school does. Originally sagging came from prision and people said that it is cool to do it because it means you are tough.

During most of Dr. king adult years, he wore suits on most of the days. The students now all have different types of styles for clothing. Most of the styles that the students have include sagging. Dr. kind would never approve of that. He would still be to proud from what he knew that we will achieve equality. If he saw the whole United States, he would even be more proud.
