• Funny metaphors used in high school essays

    I love them all, but my two favorites were:

    • Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph
    • It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.
