Excerpt from flatland
edwin a. abbott
1) i call our world flatland, not because we call it so, but to make its nature clearer to you, my happy readers, who are privileged
to live in space.
2) imagine a vast sheet of paper on which straight lines, triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, and other figures, instead of
remaining fixed in their places, move freely about, on or in the surface, but without the power of rising above or sinking below it,
very much like shadows - only hard and with luminous edges - and you will then have a pretty correct notion of my country
and countrymen. alas, a few years ago, i should have said "my universe": but now my mind has been opened to higher views of
things.

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

here's some tricks. write on a book that you have read and really enjoyed. first, start by writing down basic event in the book. have your first paragraph be an intro explaining like the author, the reason the book was written if known, and other backround info like that. paragraph two explain what happens in the first few chapters and the signifigance it had. then for paragraph 3, do the same thing but for the middle. i'm pretty sure you get the point for paragraph 4. just rap things up and explain the call to action. for the final paragragh (paragraph 5) , explain your views on the book, the message, ect. tip: something that might is to go onto cliff notes or something and read the anaylisis of each chapter.
