Similes

A simile is a sentence comparing two objects using the words is or like. Here are a few similes Spencer can up with this week.


The chair is as red as an apple.
(sight)

The chair is as squeaky as a door that needs oiling.
(sound)

The chair is as tasteless as a piece of cardboard.
(taste)

The chair is as fragrant as a candle.
(smell)

The chair is as soft as a pillow.
(touch)


The challenge was to create 5 similes comparing a single object to 5 different objects that appeal to each of the 5 sense. It was not an easy task but I think he did a great job.
