I always thought I was ugly. I mean I have a small nose, big lips short hair. No more friends. Dropped out of school at 10. Yup, that's a very young age, I know. My mother kicked me out because she didn't want me to become a problem. At the time I didn't know what she mean't. So, now I am 13 hustling on the streets... More like begging.
We are immagrants from Panama, we came here for a better life, but for me it only got worse. My mother wanted me to get an education so that I could excell in life. All I have to say to m mom is that I'm truly sorry, I just didn't understand why school was so important.
It's hard out here...Not a day goes by with me not thinking about my parents and moving back in, especially in the winter. I just don't want to deal with the guilt they'd throw on me. I wouldn't be able to cope with it. So I chose to stay out here. Everyday, I'm out here begging for money. It's sad, I know, but I gotta eat somehow.
I sleep in a cardboard box, with a blanket someone gave to me in an alley. I hate Cleveland...... I hate the world.
Until one day, I went to a new location to go beg, but instead i saw a whole garden full of people! It used to be a vacant lot with trash everywhere! { I know this because my parents live here and so did I } I didn't see my parents though... They must've been at work. I even saw my old friend, Maricela! She was a drop out too. It looked like she was pregnant. I was going to go over there but I was too embarrased.
The next day I thought about going to the garden and planting something, so I'd have something to eat. Then I realized that I had no money! So I begged until I had enough money to buy seeds. So I went over to the lot and started planting.
Of course Maricela noticed me and asked me how I was...{ which was really clear} But overall, I was happy to finally be around people. One african american lady offered to help me. I think her name was Leona. I think I'm going to come here more often! This is a place where I feel I belong!
Now that Leona has helped me... She's put me back in school... Offered me a room in her apartment... And most of all, she got me off the streets and on the road to education! My parents know but still don't want me. They think I'll go back to my old ways. But this time I'm fully commited!

Answer:

1. The old couch springs moaned as the rather large man sat down on it.

<u><em>Personification. It personifies the 'couch' as a human, 'moaning' when the large man sat on it.</em></u>

2. The hot sauce burned like fire when I bit into the taco.

<em><u>Simile. Compares the hot sauce to a fire using 'like'.</u></em>

3. I am so tired, yet I still have a million things to do before bed.

<u><em>Hyperbole. Uses an exaggerated expression to describe the things to be done.</em></u>

4. You can't find your book because your room is a pigpen. Please clean it.

<u><em>Metaphor. Comparison between the speaker's room to a pig pen without using the words "like" or "as".</em></u>

5. The piece of chocolate cake taunted me each time I went to the kitchen.

<em><u>Personification. Personifies the cake to a human, 'taunting' the speaker.</u></em>

6. The neglected little kitten was as light as a feather from having no food.

<u><em>Simile. A comparison made between the kitten and a feather using the word "as".</em></u>

Explanation:

Similes and metaphors are two ways comparisons are made. The only difference is that similes use "like" and "as" to compare while metaphors do not use the two comparison words.

Hyperbole is when the description is given using too much emphasis, way beyond what it really is. The description is done with exaggeration.

Personification is when non-living ideas or things are given human attributes, characteristics, etc.  

1. The old couch springs moaned as the rather large man sat down on it.

<u>Personification. It personifies the 'couch' as a human, 'moaning' when the large man sat on it.</u>

2. The hot sauce burned like fire when I bit into the taco.

<u>Simile. Compares the hot sauce to a fire using 'like'.</u>

3. I am so tired, yet I still have a million things to do before bed.

<u>Hyperbole. Uses an exaggerated expression to describe the things to be done.</u>
