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.

Answer:

The Dust Bowl was a devestating event in American History. The Dust Bowl was a period of time when dust covered multiple regions of the United states but eventually effected the entire country. The Dust Bowl survivors fled to the city of California to escape the dust in their hometowns. The survivors were viewied diffrently by the residents of California. Some viewed the survivors as refugees struglling to live while others viewed them as intruders competing for land and jobs in california. 

The Dust Bowl started in 1930 when severe drought started to hit the regions and in 1931 massive dust storms began to happen. By 1934 an estimated 35 million acres of formerly cultivated land had been rendered useless for farming, while another 125 million acres was rapidly losing its topsoil. The Dust killed many livestock and other animals that got in its way. The people living in the Dust Bowl areas were starting to escape the dust and go to California to start a new life. The citizens of California had diffrent viewpoints towards the survivors. Some viewed them as intruders competing for land and wealth in California while other viewed them as refugees escaping a natural disaster that they had no control over. The survivors just wanted to live in peace and make a living in california. The survivors were refugees because they just wanted to survive and if they had the intention to make money and be wealthy they would have done that before the Dust Bowl occured.

The Dust Bowl was a devestating event in the US history that affected all of the US. The survivors of the dust bowl were refugees with no intention of getting rich hoping to live and survive.
