G6 - Figures of Speech

This is my brilliant son who failed out of college.

The waves were giants in the storm

Gina is the walking calculator of the class.

Her tears flowed like a river down her cheeks

His grandma is celebrating her golden years.

The old car woke reluctantly from its overnight sleep. Coughing and sputtering, it finally broke into a loud roar

"I will die for you."

I really need a bit of peace and quiet.

The clock is a piece of junk.

She was quiet as a mouse.

"I love you to the moon and back."

"The car complained as the key was roughly turned in its ignition"

The leaves on the tree waved in the wind

She is very smart for failing the test.

They were fighting like cats and dogs.

You are my sunshine.

"The wind howled in the night sky."
