Hi Aarroy,
Who is your favorite fictional character? It doesn't have to be someone from a classic novel unless your teacher specified. It can be a character from a movie you love etc.
In order to write a "descriptive" paragraph, all you have to do is describe the character you choose using vivid language. For instance, if I was writing about Darcy from Pride and Prejudice I could write;
<em>"He has silvery blue eyes and an intimdating stature."</em> etc.
Just write about your character's appearance as well as his personality.
Metaphors are comparisons that do NOT use <u>like</u> or <u>as</u>. For instance, I could write:
<em>"Darcy's personality is an onion; with an outward appearance that first appears cold but whose inner layers reveal his insecure and fragile nature."</em>
I know that sounds like a mouthful, but I am comparing Darcy's personality to an onion without using like or as, which is a metpahor.

Explanation:
Coates describes the importance of videogames in the modern world and there effect on the population playing them. He says, " Like most of my generation, I was raised on video games. Like most of my generation, I assumed that this obsession would pass at the proper time-say when I turned 30. But like most of my generation, I was wrong" this shows the reader that at the beginning, no one expected the impact of video games to be so enormous and continuous. Yet, they remain and are getting bigger and bigger as time passes. As the player grows and experiences life, the video games they play stay the same, youthful and fun, a never-ending portal back to childhood. Coates supports these points with his personal experiences with video games, making it clear to the reader what he believes. It is a world of your creation, and the time spent in that virtual fantasy is priceless.
