Personal Metaphors - April 5th

A metaphor is a comparison between two objects not using the words “like” or “as” to make that comparison. For this blog post you will be comparing yourself to different objects. You will be asking yourself, “If I were a/an __________________, what kind of __________________ would I be?” For each item listed below you must come up with your personal metaphor for the item. Your responses need to be realistic and honest. You must be able to explain your choices if asked about them. As an example, I wouldn’t say, “If I were a musical instrument I would be the drums.” I wouldn’t say this because I have no rhythm and drums are a rhythmic instrument.

Your statements should be formatted as follows:

If I were a __________________, I would be a _________________ because …… and finish the statement.
