1. Warming up with a little creative writing: Making your own metaphors
Pick one of the following objects: Books, the breakfast you ate this morning, your brain, your friend's brain, your hands, your pet, your room
Close your eyes and visualize this object. Then generate a list of unlikely, unusual things your object resembles.
Create two metaphors/similes for this object: one that offers positive connotations, and one that offers negative connotations.
2. Offering you Ms. Leclaire's five-step approach to breaking down a challenging metaphor:
Step 1: Find a good metaphor/simile.
"How like a mirror, too, her face. Impossible; for how many people did you know who refracted your own light to you?" (11)
Step 2: Ask a question or two about it.
How is Clarisse's face like a mirror to Montag? How is she refracting his own light?
Step 3: Brainstorm connotations of the elements of the metaphor/simile.
What do I associate with the word "mirror"? What about "light" What about "refracting?"
Step 4: Connect those connotations to larger patterns you're seeing in the text.
Step 5: Answer the questions you asked in Step 2.
