~Look Like The Innocent Flower, But Be the Serpent Under It ~

Using Metaphors 
Seniors know that the title of this post is a line from Macbeth.  Lady Macbeth is using a metaphor to tell her husband how to act. In fact, the entire play Macbeth is loaded with metaphors and other figures of speech. Each class now has a bonus point opportunity here in relation to metaphors:

English 12:  Post an original metaphor that talks about the upcoming end of your high school experience.  


Lit and Film:  We have gone one step further to define "allegory" which is an extended metaphor, as is the film WALL-E. Write a metaphor concerning a theme explored in WALL-E.


English 11:  Use a main character from your independent reading novel and describe him or her using an original metaphor.  


Everyone may post one metaphor for five bonus points until Friday, April 15th.  I can't wait to see how creative you will be!
