The Metaphor by Budge Wilson

Something to Think About:

1. To what did Charlotte compare her mother?

2. Why do you think Miss Hancock offered to discuss Charlotte's metaphor with her?

3. After writing the first metaphor about her mother, Charlotte writes several others. What do the various metaphors about her mother have in common?

  2. This story has both a 1st and 3rd person view but the story is mainly focused on Miss Hancock and Charlotte but the background to this story is odd, is it about them using metaphors to everyday life?

  4. Zack, I think what you said is what the did. They would think of things and make up metaphors abot them. Its just that Charlotte's are alot more detailed than everybody else's.

  19. I really liked this story because it was very descriptive and detailed! For it being like this it made it easier to understand and and i was more focused on this story more than the other ones. I think that having kind of a first and third view of the story also made it easier to understand. I really liked this one more than the others but i wouldn't like reading it for fun like Brittany said i only did read it because it was an assignment.

  21. I haven't read all of it but it seems to be that Charlotte's metaphors were way better than everyone elses. It's also VERY descriptive so far.

  32. Olive oil is my fundamental "go to" oil in the kitchen, but for anything far more than medium heat it is coconut
    oil or animal body fat.

  33. I think that everything published made a great
    deal of sense. However, what about this? what if you added
    a little content? I ain't suggesting your content isn't solid.,
    but what if you added a post title to possibly grab people's attention? I mean "The Metaphor by Budge Wilson" is kinda
    vanilla. You might look at Yahoo's home page and watch how they
    write post headlines to grab people to open the links.

    You might add a related video or a picture or two to get people excited about everything've written. In my opinion, it might make your posts a little livelier.

  34. The confusion comes in when the term chronometer
    enters the discussion. Outdoor foam is extremely different from the traditional indoor foam
    which surprisingly is offered with many outdoor products. Those making
    their way to the seaside in the UK each year often find themselves in the
    beautiful town of Brighton.
