As each class reads its selected novel over the next 3 weeks, we will spend some time analyzing the characters from the story. Rather than just describing them with adjectives, we will use a variety of metaphors and similes that represent their physical, emotional and developmental traits.
In order to familiarize you with this process, each student needs to post 1 description of a person in his/her life as a COMMENT on this post NO LATER THAN Saturday, 7 March. You decide if you will use a metaphor or a simile.
You also need to plan time to read the comments of your peers, so that you can see the variety of ways that the metaphor and simile can be used in character description.
Here are 3 examples to guide you:

He is like a frame. He is holding it all together but no one ever notice him. He never gets the credit and he is never the beauty one. And when the day is over they change the frame for a new one and the old frame will never be remembered.
