Similes and Metaphors in songs examples:
1. "eyes blue like the Atlantic and I'm going down like the titanic" from Eyes Blue Like The Atlantic by Sista_Prod
2. "When I was a young man like you
Son, I held a woman too
Held her in my naked hands
When I was a young man
Now you know how it feels
Women are as slick as eels
Woman, quicker than the asp
Always slipping from your grasp" from Chant ll from the musical Hadestown
Key:
Simile in blue
Metaphor in yellow

we are learning about how to describe places in our writing to do this we had to take a description of a place from a book and add on to it here are mine
Big Sur by Jack Kerouac
“On soft Spring nights I’ll stand in the yard under the stars — Something good will come out of all things yet — And it will be golden and eternal just like that — There’s no need to say another word.”
my bit
and yet seeing the ocean with the cliffs around it you almost have to say more. It was a beautiful view. the ocean was a dark blue, the cliffs were green with plants. I felt like I could look at that view all day
this is the picture I based my description on:
I didn't really like doing this because I felt like there was no need to add on what was being said and my writing was bad so it would ruin it. But I hope you liked it.

Your bit certainly doesn't ruin it, Rosa. The activity is meant to inspire you, but I see how you might feel like the writing doesn't need to be added to. I am enjoying reading your creative writing this year, and it is exciting watching you improve by the day. Keep up your effort and focus; ka rawe :)
