Add color to the English language. How? You can use literary devices—idioms, similes and metaphors to name a few. Easy peasy! Writers and speakers use them to highlight an idea, or feature a certain characteristic of a person they're describing. A simile is a very powerful way to describe a character. Poets and writers can use them in their writings. Why can't you? How about some animal similes? 

  • As sly as a fox




As timid as a rabbit

  • As meek as a lamb

  • As fast as a cheetah

Ah, the irony...

  • As graceful as a gazelle

  • As brave as a lion

Can you write a short story and describe your character(s) using these similes?
