    Meet Tennyson the Turtle.


    He enjoys using metaphors and similes when telling tales.
    A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares
    two things that are not actually alike.
    Metaphors compare things by saying
    something is something else.
    Example: Tennyson’s eyes are pitch black pebbles.
    A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things by using the words like or as.
    Example: Tennyson’s eyes are like pitch black pebbles.

    Write the examples you find of each on the lines below the story.
    My home, a moss covered rock, is an emerald fortress. It provides shelter from the heavy
    springtime showers, when the raindrops are like large iridescent pearls. My rock is neighbors
    with a weeping willow tree. Its branches are thick snakes, but to the children who come to swim
    from town, the willow is a majestic pirate ship. I peek my head between the daisies to watch the
    kids in brightly colored swimsuits plunge into the pool from the tips of the willow’s branches.
    The water’s surface is like a shattered mirror. A frenzy of ripples take over the pond, and the lily
    pads twirl like dancers who suddenly have the mad desire to switch partners. I fancy the idea of
    surfing the pond’s wild waves one day!
