I laughed so hard at the high school students’ analogies! Oh, number 4, haha!
Good tip there at the end.:-)

I taught 7th graders for a time and have one more bad analogy (besides all of the fast as a cheetah similes) by a middle school student:
“His eyes were brown, like ooey, gooey chocolate brownies.”
I suppose I should give it some credit for memorability.

Hahahaha! That’s brilliant, and to her credit, I know EXACTLY what shade of brown his eyes were 🙂

I can’t pick a favorite analogy. Or a favorite meme you included. These were all brilliant. And yes, I admit I’ve killed characters that I needed further on in a series. That’s the worst!

So funny. I love the high school similies. Ha ha. And the writing hack… I’ve been known to do that! Ugh. Thanks for the laughs, Jess.

Those analogies are fantastic! No doubt I’d face plant if I read some I came up with in high school, lol.
