What is a simile?“A simile is a way of describing
something by using the word “like” or “as” to compare it to something else.
For example: Happiness is like a sunset.I am as happy as a monkey with
a banana.
When I am Happy
When I am happyI feel like a new motherAnd new winter snow.
When I am sad I feel like a dead flower
And a winter with no snow.I feel like a raging fire
And those are my feelings.Written by Mary Hogan, 6th grade
Happy
When I am happy I feel like a sailboatWith my sail up and
The wind is blowing up against me.I feel proud.
Written by Catherine Powers, 4th grade
ExcitedI am as excited as a kangaroo in an open field!
I am as excited as a kitten with a ball of string!
I am as excited as a fluffy puppy with a new bone!
I am as excited as a baby with its bottle!
I am as excited as all children on Christmas morning!
I am as excited as a 100 on a math exam!
