What is the Moon?
By:Clara Lui
Inspired By: Wes Magee
the Moon is a big banana
sometimes shaped perfectly curved
it's a bowl of milk
when it reflects in the water
the moon is a huge wolf magnet
that attracts wolves during the night
It is a huge light bulb
that shines so you can see at night
the moon is a huge chunk of cheese
it's pearl white and has holes
(This poem was written by my friend. She goes to East Middle School in Braintree. She just turned twelve in November. This was a poem she had to present to her English class. She has the exact amount of syllables for each line from the poem "What is the Sun?" By: Wes Magee....... Thanks for reading this! I hope this helped you guys!)

The moon metaphor can represent constant change and cycles in life. Just as the moon waxes and wanes, reminding us of the impermanence of all things, it also represents the ups and downs we experience in our journey. This metaphor can symbolize growth, renewal, and the idea that challenges are just phases that will eventually pass.
a metaphor, as it compares the moon to a balloon to convey a sense of lightness, beauty, or whimsy. Metaphors use comparison to create imagery and evoke emotion in the reader or listener.
The moon was a golden coin in the untouchable treasure chest of the sky is an example of a metaphor.
This is an example of personification, as it gives human traits to the moon by suggesting that it is painting the black water. Metaphor would involve direct comparison without using "like" or "as".

The moon was a shining beacon in the night sky.

This is an example of an alliteration 'moon made'. For it to be a metaphor it would have to follow this sort of structure, 'the moon was a torch in the sky'. Hope this helped.
The sentence "I am a rock" is an example of a metaphor. It is comparing the speaker to a rock to convey strength, resilience, and emotional detachment.

The moon was a silver dollar is definitely a metaphor. Remember that for something to be a simile it must be preceded by like or as.
An inverted metaphor is a figure of speech where the subject and the things compared to it are reversed. For example, saying "The sun is a black hole of happiness" is an inverted metaphor because the sun (the subject) is being compared to a black hole (the metaphor).
A metaphor is a flower. A simile is like (or as) a flower. Both metaphor and simile compare one thing to another. The difference is that a simile uses the words 'like' or 'as', and metaphor doesn't. Metaphor: Life is a fountain. Simile: Life is like a fountain.

One metaphor from "New Moon" by Stephenie Meyer is when Bella describes her depression as a hole that can't be filled, symbolizing her emotional emptiness after Edward leaves.
