Prompt: Reflect on the simile and metaphor worksheet. Which topic challenged you the most when creating your figurative language, and why? In your response, explain what made that topic difficult and how you worked through the challenge (or what you might do differently next time).

Coming up with original metaphors was the hardest part for me. It was difficult because I kept thinking of basic or overused ideas, and I didn’t want my writing to sound boring or the same as everyone else’s. Sometimes I would think of something creative, but it didn’t really match what I was trying to describe.
