(Sentence 1)Almost anything can be described by a metaphor because everything can be compared to something. (Sentence 2)Though everyone is unique, we all resemble something or someone else. (Sentence 3)Metaphors can describe not only your physical characteristics, but your personality and characteristics as well. (Sentence 4)A “red little rooster” is a good Metaphor for Bob Ewell because it fits his personality perfectly.

(TS)Harper Ann Lee used what she thought to be the perfect metaphor for Bob Ewell because he really does act like a red little rooster. (SD)When Mr.Ewell was on trial he was very sure of himself. (CM)The way he reacted to Atticus questioning him showed how confident he was that he could outsmart everyone. (CM)His confidence was the key part to the metaphor because he was practically puffing his chest out with confidence just like a fresh rooster would. (SD)Mr.Ewells confidence in himself earned him a good metaphor, but nothing else. (CM)If Mr.Ewell had stopped acting like a red little rooster he might have done better in court. (CM)Because he was acting so confident, like no one could figure him out, Atticus had an advantage over him. (CS)Bob Ewell was no better than a little red rooster in this chapter because he honestly thought he could successfully lie to the court, but in reality, Atticus could see right through him.

(CS)I believe almost anything can be described by a metaphor, including myself. It can be hard trying to decipher what kind of metaphor you are, because you have to be able to look at yourself from every angle. (SD)I think the best metaphor f\to describe me is a miscellaneous cat. (CM)I love to watch people, to observe what they are doing just like a cat sits and watches everything around it. (CM)Though I am not as good at this as the cat, I can only keep it up for a few minutes before I get bored. (SD)I am also like a cat because I love to play. (CM)A cat has many aspects in its life, sometimes it likes to play, sometimes it just wants to relax and watch. (CM)The playful side of the cat is the more dominant part of me, I love to spend time with my friends and laugh. (CS)Though I am satisfied with my metaphor there are probably hundreds of others that could fit me better because I have so many different parts of me

(Sentence 1)We are all different, but some of us share a common trait. (Sentence 2)This ties in with metaphors because everything can be related to something else in some way. (Sentence 3)If a rooster could be used to compare someone’s personality, then there are thousands of things that could describe everyone on the planet. (Sentence 4)The only real challenge is finding out what personality traits we hold. Looking at ourselves in an inhuman way can be good. If we don’t like the character that perceives us, we can strive to change it.
