The Isle of Skye, Scotland

To the Lighthouse By Virginia Woolf

From the book: “So fine was the morning except for a streak of wind here and there that the sea and sky looked all one fabric, as if sails were stuck high up in the sky, or the clouds had dropped down into the sea.''

My work:

From further ahead the sky and sea blended-- with one another--closing the gap that light shined
through. Darkness filled the air with just a hint of light that shined above her. Showing her
surroundings who she is. Down below the light extends beyond for her to see.

What is a Metaphor?

A Metaphor is like a simile but without using AS or LIKE because it is comparing two things that
different but implying it is.

Songs with Similes and Metaphors

Burn by Ellie Goulding:

We, we don't have to worry bout nothing'
Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something
They, they gonna see us from outer space, outer space
Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race, human race (Simile)


Waterfalls by TLC:

Don't go chasing waterfalls (metaphor)
please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have your way or nothing at all


Titanium by David Guetta:

Ricochet, you take your aim
fire away, fire away 
you shoot me down but I won't fall
I am Titanium (Metaphor)

Red by Taylor Swift:

Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
faster than a wind, passionate as sin, ended so suddenly (Simile)
