Discussion 2

Creating Verbal Images

Shapes, colors, size, shadows, and positions are just a few of the elements that one may analyze to determine what a visual image means. When writing text, it is important that you create a visual picture for your reader to get across your meaning. One way to do this is by using figurative language involving the comparison of two unlike items. 

The object of this exercise is to create comparisons between two items, being as creative and descriptive as you can.

Give yourself one minute for each sentence.

Example: How is a piece of pizza like a piece of chalk?

Answers:

Both come in boxes with other, similarly shaped pieces.
Both come in different colors and shapes.
Both can stain your clothes.
You can write a message, if you need to, with either of them.

Okay, now you try. Remember, one minute each.

• How is a computer like a picture?
• How is concrete like chocolate?
• How is an airplane like a cloud?
