The most used literary device in literature are metaphors. Similes are metaphors that specifically use the words “like” or “as”. After reading “Dreams” and “A Dream Deferred” by Langston Hughes, the poets learned about similes and metaphors in both poems and how the poets uses them to relate concepts to the reader. They then wrote their similes based on someone, or something, they love in their life. Enjoy!
Batman
by Joshua and Gianni
Batman is like the night because he moves in the shadows
Batman’s muscles are big and tall like a boulder
Batman is like a Warren Buffet because they’re both rich and smart

Es tan bonito como La Luna
Sus ojos brillan como El Sol
Sus cejas son como el pasto
Su perlo es suave como la almuada
Sus manos so tan largas como una jirafa
Es una mariposa porque es tan lindo
Es un corazon por que es muy cariñoso conmigo

Mama is the best
Mama smells like flowers
She shines bright like a star
Mama is a diamond
She is a cat that loves me
Mama is beautiful as a peacock
She is a tree because of how strong she is
Mama is sweet as candy
She is a fox because she is loyal
Mama is the whole world
