simile&metaphors

SIMILE : A simile is using the words like or as in a sentence. For example ( shine bright like a diamond.) similes are important in writing because it makes a story more detailed and more interesting to read without using a simile the story would be boring and plain.
METAPHOR : A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares you to something  for example  (your an animal.) Metaphors are important because without it there is no story. there would just be words on a piece of paper.

    SIMILE:
“Friends are like chocolate cake
You can never have too many.
Chocolate cake is like heaven -
Always amazing you with each taste or feeling.
Chocolate cake is like life with so many different pieces.
Chocolate cake is like happiness, you can never get enough of it.”

METAPHORS: 

Good dudes - I know you love me like cooked food
Even though a nigga gotta move like a crook move
We was together on the block since free lunch
We should've been together having Four Seasons brunch
We used to use umbrellas to face the bad weather
So now we travel first class to change the forecast
Never in bunches, just me and you
I loved your point of view cause you held no punches
Still I left you for months on end
It's been months since I checked back in
We're somewhere in a small town, somewhere locking a mall down
Woodgrain, four and change, Armor All'd down
I can understand why you want a divorce now
Though I can't let you know it, pride won't let me show it
Pretend to be heroic, that's just one to grow with
But deep inside a nigga so sick

HYPERBOLE

   Definition of Hyperbole: 
 Hyperbole is an exaggeration to create emphasis.It is often used in poems,for example someone might say im on fire if its like 100 degrees outside.
   Hyperbole is important to writing because it makes stories,poems,letters or what ever seem so much better it makes the story pop out to you because of that one sentence it makes the story seems ten times better than what it really is. 

  

School Fight

    

You can’t hear a pin drop
As all the kids gather around;
They are vultures
Waiting for the corpse
Of the one who loses.
The tall kid…
He swings his fist with his hurricane force.
A torrential spray of blood
Explodes from the smaller boy’s nose
And covers the tiled floor.
The vultures fly away
As the teachers quickly approach.

The tone of this poem is exited but nervous at the same time also curious to see the out come of the situation.         
   The mood that i feel when i read this is curious i want to see who is going to win. 

Mercey 

 Let the suicide doors up

I threw suicides on the tour bus
I threw suicides on the private jet
You know what that mean, I’m fly to death
I step in Def Jam building like I’m the shit
Tell ‘em “Give me fifty million or I’mma quit”
Most rappers taste level ain’t at my waist level
Turn up the bass ’til it’s up in your face level
Don’t do no press but I get the most press, kid
Plus your my bitch, make your bitch look like Precious
Something’ ’bout Mary she gone off that Molly
Now the whole party is melted like Dalí
Now everybody is movin’ they body
Don’t sell me apartment, I move in the lobby
Niggas is loiterin’ just to feel important
You gon see lawyers and niggas in Jordans

Yeah, it’s prime time, my top back, this pimp game hoe
I’m red leather, this cocaine, I’m Rick James hoe
I’m bill droppin’, Ms. Pacman is pill poppin’ ass hoe
I’m poppin’ too, these blue dolphins need two coffins
All she want is some heel money
All she need is some bill money
He take his time, he counts it out
I weighs it up, that’s real money
Check the neck, check the wrist
nd that’s excellenceThem heads turnin’, that’s exorcist
My Audemar like Mardi Gras
That’s Swiss time a
Two door preference
Roof gone George Jefferson
That white frost on that pound cake
So your Duncan Heinz is irrelevant

The tone is excited,energetic,loud and happy.The mood of this song is exiting its to get you pumped up and ready to go.It gets me ready to go do anything especially if I'm playing football i need some music to listen to this song is great for that. 

Behind The Clouds

  ''He tied off his boat off and started to climb the cliff. He knew that no one had lived to tell what was behind the clouds but he still climbed.'' The fact that he knew no one had lived to tell what was behind the clouds it mad him wonder. He was the type of person to do something no one else can do. He loved to stand out and show how tough he is or how brave or athletic he was. This man was determined to reach the top of the cliff and see what was behind the cloud.

  The day before his adventure he went out to get certain supplies that he might need to climb the cliff. He also did his research about the cliff and how long would the climb take him. He even checked on how far have people mad it up the cliff,only 30 people have mad it up the cliff and threw the clouds. Zero have made it back out. He was determined to be the first to make back down that cliff and tell what was behind those clouds,his secrets,his strategies. The people who have made it up the cliff where very athletic and hard working people some have climb cliffs their whole lives that's what they do. 

  Adventure is one of his favorite things.He is an adventurous type of person he loves to be on the move.He wasn't going to let anything stop him from climbing that cliff.The moment of truth was just a day away.He let his family know that he was going on a trip another one of his adventures his sister called it.That night he packed all of his things and made sure that he had gas for his boat.He was ready for the best day of his life told his sister.
  Today is the day he said to him self looking in the mirror.He drove to the docks to set off for his greatest adventure yet.As he arrived to the cliff he took a deep breath and stared at it.He tied his boat to the edge of the cliff and started to climb like he never climb before.He was energetic and excited to see what people were talking about.He said to him self this mountain is a cake walk.He was just moments away from making it to the top of the cliff.
  He makes it to the top.As he walks through the clouds he hears voices.At first he hesitates to go completely threw with this ridiculous idea.But his pride kicks in and he goes on with it.Behind the thick heavy clouds was a beautiful jungle.There was all types of exotic birds,snakes all type of weird animals.Along with those animals were people having the time of their lives.Lounging in a nice tent with people bringing them drinks and food.It was paradise a place where no one would want to leave and that's exactly what happened.This place was so beautiful the people who climbed it never wanted to leave.They were having the best time of their lives.He finally discovered why people never came back alive it was because they never died they just never wanted to leave.He decided that he would do the same and never leave.

A picture is worth a 1000 words

  In this picture i see two men showing each other respect. I see two men showing good sportsmanship. One of these men lost the soccer game but they both still have a smile on their face. They both no that you cant when every game in the world sometimes you win some you loss some.This must have been one important game because in the back of this photo is camera men, reporters, and thousands of fans in the stands.

  This picture means a lot to some people. It means a lot to me also because i do sports as well. And when you play any type of sport you have to have good sportsmanship or no one would want you on their team. Sportsman ship is the number one key to making something of your life. It seems like this game was a hard fought one. Everyone played their hearts out and gave it their all. That is how two teams can walk away with a smile when they know that they played a good game a gave it their all and never gave up on any play.

  This picture looks like it was took in the 1980's. This could have been a picture of the first black man to play soccer. It could be a picture of the two best players in the league. One of the two men could have been the MVP of the game. All i have to say is that this picture makes  a person want to go out a play a sport because by them two smiling makes it look like they are out there having tons of fun with their teammates.

hurricane sandy

   One personal experince that i have encountered is this hurricane. I know that i was lucky to still have power the next day,not have a tree hit my house or my parents car. I know that some people still do not have power. Some people are going to be out of power for days maybe even weeks. People have to live in hotels because its to cold in there house,they dont have power or a tree feel on their home. I know people who still do not have power. My cousins did not have power for almost a week.

   My  cousins had to stay with me for five days becuase they didnt hvae any power. One of my cousins had a tree fall into his room while he was sleep. I have learned a lot from this hurricane. I learned to not take things for granted. I see that something or someone you love can bee gone in just a day. I know that every person who was struck by Sandy feel the same way that i do. My grandmother had to stay in a hotel because her place didnt have any heat or lights. It was to cold for her to sleep in her own house.

  

The joy of life

  In this Chris is upset at people and hhow they do things in their life.He does not like the fact that people depened on others for security.He doesnt like the fact that people are scared to see what life is like on the other side.He wants people to explore new things and how life is in the wild when you just go out and do what you want when you want to and how you want to.He doesnt like that people are always trying to impress others.For example he didnt like how his parents used him as some type of toy or a trophy.He didnt want to impress anyone.He felt as if he didnt need to try aand imoress anybody to him he had no one to impress not even hime self.

  He embraced these beliefs in many ways.One way was cutting all his credit cards,burning his money,cutting his social security card up and leaving his car in the desert.He didnt care about the matiral things in life.He enjoyed life as it is, he went out and did what ever he felt like doing in the moment.He loved the fact that he had no responsibility. He was able to live free,free off the law free of his parents.Chris was just a free spirit and he loved the out doors.

  The first thing I think he would ask me is do i try to impress people.The next question he would most likely ask me is am i afraid of living alone in the wild.Next he might ask me am i willing to take the risk he did am I ready to leave my family drop all communication and just go dont tell anyone anything. He would also ask me am i scared to meet new people and try new things in life.Chris would try to encourage me to go out and do something in my life that I trulely love and care about.I think that he would try and encourage me to do what he did or try somethimg similar to it.He would tell me to just enjoy life as is.

Jamaica

         If Alazeez was to go to Jamaica he would go to see the diffident things people do out side of the united states .He would go check out the beaches they have. The type of food they eat.I would want to see the way they dress what type of sports they play.It seems like a fun place to go and visit.If you don't her people talk about it a lot it must not be all that great.
    A lot of people have said that Jamaica would be the best island to visit hands down.This is why most people would list Jamaica as one of the best island travel destination. The people there are very generous and welcoming. Its a laid back type of atmosphere. I heard that they have amazing food.They have beautiful white sandy beaches its no all dark like in the U.S. H even thinks that they have a great culture
