This Post does not concern Books, but it is about the very imaginative and sometimes strange creation of written analogies. Since appropo analogies are inherent in any good novel I thought someone here might enjoy these. Below are 10 VERY TRUE analogies that were actually taken from high school essays. The "comments" below them are my own "original creations". Enjoy!

1. She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used
to dangle from screen doors and would fly up whenever you banged the
door open again.
-- Rich Murphy, Fairfax Station
Is he saying that he would like to forget her????
2. Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze.
-- Chuck Smith, Woodbridge
Snot-covered hair............what an enticing picture!
3. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.
-- Gary F. Hevel, Silver Spring
Who fries maggots????
4.
The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil,
this plan just might work.
-- Malcolm Fleschner, Arlington
Loving sarcasm from relatives works everytime!
5. The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the period after the
Dr. on a Dr Pepper can. --Wayne Goode, Madison, AL
You can't get much more unnoticed than that!
6. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who
had also never met.
-- Russell Beland, Springfield
I bet that hummingbirds mate the same way as they meet.......WHAM; Bam; Thank You, Mamn! I'm gone!
7. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
--Susan Reese, Arlington
Stop my beating heart...........such romantic thoughts overwhelm me!!
8. The ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender
leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.
-- Jennifer Hart, Arlington
Hope the dog's "leg" wasn't that long!!!
9. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells,
as if she were a garbage truck backing up.
-- Susan Reese, Arlington
Perhaps because she LOOKED like a garbage truck from the back???
10. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with
power tools.
--Brian Broadus, Charlottesville
SHEESH! Glad I didn't grow up in HIS house!!!
