Think about any idioms you might use, where if you really analyzed the actual words, they wouldn’t make much sense, but the big

picture means something different. Write anything down that you can think of, and a brief explanation of what it means. The goal is to have you think a bit more critically about phrases that we tend to take for granted. Then, over the next three days, pay attention to any idioms you hear. If you hear anything that you’ve already written down, put a check mark next to it. If you hear anything new, add it to your list.
At the end of those three days, use those idioms to create a short story to put into your journal. Your goal will be to get as many idioms as possible into the story as you possibly can, and still have it make some sort of sense. The story itself should not be longer than 2 pages.

"It's raining cats and dogs"

"The rain is as cold as ice"

"It's so cold, we might be in Antarctica"

"Winter is as freezing as a polar bear's home"

"The sun won't shine until it is a million years later"

These are just some idioms. These include similes and metaphors.

Here's a short story.

Kaleb walked outside. "Oh, Mom, it's raining cats and dogs- how am I going to use my kite?" He shut the door, not letting the rain come in. "Not only that- the rain is as cold as ice. It's 22 degrees!" Kaleb's mom said. "Oh no, this wasn't the right time to buy a kite. Winter is as freezing as a polar bear's home, I hate this so much!" Kaleb said. "Oh, Kaleb, don't be so sad," said Kaleb's dad. "We can find a day, maybe tomorrow. It's windy tomorrow." "Oh, be quiet! It's raining all week! It will also be cold! It's so cold, we might be in Antarctica!" Kaleb's aunt (his dad's side) said. "Oh, man," Kaleb's dad said. Kaleb sighed, and put his kite away. "The sun won't shine until it is a million years later," he said.

What evidence do you find in the story early autumn to suggest that Mary regretted losing ‘Bill’ more than he regretted losing h
kicyunya [14]

First, it signals the end of Bill and Mary's attempt at conversation, startling Mary into the present.

If the lights symbolize truth or revelation, then their sudden brightness represents the irrefutable passage of time and the impossibility of ever recovering or re-doing the past. That the lights run "the whole length of Fifth Avenue" further emphasizes the completeness of this truth; there is no way to escape the passage of time.

It's worth noting that the lights turn on right after Bill says, "You ought to see my kids" and grins. It's a surprisingly unguarded moment, and it's the only expression of genuine warmth in the story. It's possible that his and Mary's children might represent those lights, being the brilliant chains that link the past with an ever-hopeful future.
