metaphor, not refantazio

[poetaste]

Who: English Students
When: October 5th
Where: An abandoned classroom
What: Miss Cadence's Poetry Class!
Warnings: Annoying-ass bird teaches you things.

[The Sunday class of the fundraising event is a bit of light fare, but it does come with its lecture at its homework.

On the board, Miss Cadence has written WHY ARE EYES THE WINDOWS TO THE SOUL? and underlined it twice, beneath which is written a lesson in figurative language.

The first thing about this woman is that she's extremely annoying at the front of the classroom. She's sitting all over the desk, she paces around as she lectures, and she seems to have eyes in the back of her head, so good luck doing anything when she's turned around. The second thing is that she actually sounds quite knowledgable once she begins speaking. She has plentiful examples, explains the different types of figurative language clearly and concisely, and has an impassioned argument for how understanding these devices are the first step in analyzing language for what people don't explicitly say, allowing for stronger critical thinking.

Today, she'll walk students through three cases of figurative language:

1. metaphor, describing something directly as something else - "the heart is a lonely hunter"
2. simile, comparative descriptions - "the stars are like diamonds in the sky"
3. personalification, describing non-human things with human attributes - "the wind sighed."

Now it's your turn!]

Who: the student body
When: the afternoon of October 5
Where: the gymnasium, and elsewhere
What: the end of the fundraiser
Warnings: nothing you don't bring yourself!

[boy, has it been a busy week and some change! the fundraising activities seems to have excited more than just the mortal student body. if you've been paying attention to the table adorned with spider lilies throughout the event, you would have noticed that some of the school haunts have been dropping pieces of ghostly yen into the jars scattered on top of it. each jar is now overflowing with glowing golden coins. they're intangible, unfortunately-- no one is going to strike it rich while stuck in this school-- but! they're pretty to look at!]

[and eventually, on October 5, the voice that started the whole affair speaks to you again]

Ah, quite wonderful! This has been such a rousing success. Thank you, my dear students, for working so hard to enrich your educational lives within these hallowed walls!

And a special congratulations to the members of the Outdoors Club, the Occult Investigations Club and the Food Tasting Club. Your efforts specifically have born fruit.

yes YES the tiger is out
