  1. Hi Nate
    I really like the sentence "The top is dark like night". Why did you choose this picture to describe?

  2. Gosh Nate, this is such an awesome picture to write about. After I read your writing I had to look again at the picture because you made me realise there was so much going on in this picture. Thank you for being so descriptive.

  5. Kia ora Nate,
    Thank you for sharing your writing with us!
    You have done an excellent job describing the image, and I think it is awesome how you managed to include so many similes within your piece!
    A simile is when you compare one thing to being like another. The words ‘as’ or ‘like’ are used for similes. In your work you included the following similes:
    ‘The top is dark like night’ and ‘The Deceptacon has wheels on his feet like a car’
    Both of these were fantastic uses of language features, and they really helped me visualise the story in my head.
    It would be great to see you use some metaphors in your writing as well.
    A metaphor is when you say one thing is another thing. The words ‘is’ or ‘was’ are used for metaphors. Here are some examples of metaphors, using the image provided in your post:
    ‘The cloud was a dark force’
    ‘The robot is a raging bull’
    What is one example of a metaphor that you could say about this image?
    It would be awesome if you could reply to this comment and let me know!
    Keep up the great work!
    Nga mihi
