Question

In High School

Write a total of five figurative language sentences. Each sentence must be about your favorite season of the year and based on your senses (touch, taste, sight, hearing/sound, and smell). Each sentence must include at least one type of figurative language: simile, metaphor, alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia, personification, or/and hyperbole. Think of the holidays, events, foods, weather, colors, sells, and clothing that you associate with this time of year. For example, read my spring examples. Which types of figurative language are used in these sentences? Red, yellow, and orange tulips burst from the warming earth, speeding like shiny sports cars racing into the sky. Snow boots and puffy jackets are replaced by sandals and sundresses, which emerge from basement boxes like cherished hidden treasures.

Touchdown! As I walk into the warm, fragrant kitchen, I hear the cheers and chants of family from the living room. The Buckeyes have scored again! Fall is my favorite season because of the vibrant colors as the leaves change, the excitement of cheering for our favorite football teams, and the beginnings of the holiday season. It took us days to lovingly prepare this feast but now the Thanksgiving food is on the table and we laugh at our inside jokes and tear up as we make our toasts. As the sun sets and says goodnight, we step outside onto our balcony and look down over the glowing city. The leaves jump and fly through the air, I wave goodbye until next year, when they come back in winter’s thaw of springtime. Thanksgiving is my favorite time of all, as we celebrate the fall, our bellies are full of dinner’s blessings. Our hearts beat with gratitude and, most importantly, love for all.

The sound of crunching leaves underfoot is like a symphony of nature, playing a melody of autumnal bliss. The aroma of pumpkin spice and cinnamon wafts through the air, like a warm hug from a loved one. The cozy sweaters and scarves wrap me up like a warm blanket, shielding me from the chilly breeze. The crisp autumn air is like a refreshing sip of apple cider, invigorating my senses. Fall is my favorite season, as it brings a sense of warmth and comfort, like being wrapped up in a cozy blanket. As the leaves fall and the days grow shorter, I am reminded of the beauty of change and the importance of embracing the present moment.
