Metaphors & Similes
As hot as a the Sahara
Simile; it's really hot and dry outside
I'm starving
Really hungry
Bittersweet
A good and bad situation
Raining cats and dogs
Raining hard
Half of my heart is in Havana
Hyperbole
Ride like the wind
Simile; to go really fast
She talks forever
She talks a lot and for a long time
Pretend to be normal
Smart cookie
Very intelligent
You were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
Metaphor
You are my rock
Metaphor: you are strong and you support me
They were two peas in a pod
They were very close friends
Escaped prisoner
A criminal running away
Think outside the box
Imagine something more creative
I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space
Metaphor
The world's a stage
Metaphor; we all play our own part in life that is being compared to a play
I could eat a horse
Really hungry
Walking dead
Zombie; something that is not alive but able to move
Cat got your tongue?
Can't speak
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Simile
Name a metaphor or simile
Her hair was a flowing river
Her hair was really long
Virtual reality
A fake life being made inside of a computer
Barking up the wrong tree
Getting yourself into something you shouldnt be
You can break everything I am
Like I’m made of glass
Like I’m made of paper
Simile, Hyperbole
