I need some help with a project (Not asking for it to be done for me, I just need some help)

Vagene:

waddup my man

justasoftie:

Here is the decription of the project

justasoftie:

I know how to do it but I think I am taking it in the wrong direction

justasoftie:

Strong writing often uses figurative language. Metaphors are a good way to describe characters, places, actions, and feelings. For this task, you will write a paragraph that contains three metaphors. Remember, a metaphor is a direct comparison. Type your paragraph and send it to my email. Review your writing for correct punctuation, spelling, and grammar.

justasoftie:

I just need help basically getting a topic

justasoftie:

Like I know how to write it, i just need a topic to write it on

Shadow:

His phrasing is weird in regards to what a metaphor is. A metaphor is a comparison, but not necessarily direct. In fact, metaphors are comparing entities that are not literally applicable. For example, if I were to create a metaphor comparing a beautiful girl to the sun, she isn’t literally the sun, yet it’s meant to provide depth to how I perceive the girl. That’s why figurative language is a higher form of writing - it has depth.

justasoftie:

I mean I'm just kinda confused

Shadow:

How to do a metaphor?

justasoftie:

No, because I have a topic somewhat and I know what a metaphor is, but if I read through what I have on my paragraph already it sounds like I am trying to make too many metaphors

Shadow:

More than three would only show that you understand the concept well, but perhaps if you show me what you’re talking about, I could gain more insight into what you’re saying.

justasoftie:

Ohhhh. Now I see what I was doing wrong

justasoftie:

I was adding similes instead of metaphors

justasoftie:

I feel dumb now

Shadow:

That was a thought drifting in my head, lol. Sometimes it’s difficult to make metaphors without using like/as which make it a simile.

justasoftie:

Yeah it is. Thanks for your help

Shadow:

No problem. If you want me to look over your piece before you submit it, I’m almost home and can review it on a computer.

justasoftie:

Sure. Would you want me to put it on this question?

Shadow:

That would work.

justasoftie:

Okay. I'll be done in like 15 minutes
