Similes!

Today in Mr Rahim’s writing group, we have been using similes and powerful adjectives to improve our setting descriptions. We know that similes can be a powerful writing tool to help build images in the minds of our readers.

Here are some examples:

The shiny, crystal sea surrounded the island like a blue blanket. 

(Mohamed S)

The turquoise, heaving waves were splashing like the snake ride in Yas Waterworld.

(Mohamed H)

The brown tree was as tall as a flag pole.

(Maktoum)

The tall palm trees were as spiky as a puffer fish.

(Sheikha)
