Simile of the Day

yesterday we went over some of the devices and "language tricks" that shakespeare uses throughout romeo & juliet. for homework, the students had to create original examples of similes, metaphors, personification, classical allusions, and so on. the best one?

"Detention sucks like a powerful vacuum."

i laughed out loud. i love when they find inspiration from their own experiences...
