Directions: List the analogies from the letter on the spaces below.There are analogies in the love letter below— read
carefully. Some analogies are not as simple as black
is to white!My Dearest Buttercup,
You are to me as the wind is to the sea—like Juliet is to
Romeo and Caesar is to Cleopatra. Your smile is the sun on a
cloudy day, like fire is to light and flower is to fragrance.
Your hair is more black than night, like jet is to coal and
ebony is to mud.
I love the talents you possess, like the way you can pick up
stones with your toes and throw them in the lake. Your smile
makes me giggle. Like flamingo is to pink and polar bear is to
white, the color of your skin is roses in the snow.
I hope you feel the same way about me. If you don’t, could you
pass this note to the new girl sitting next to you, the one
with the blonde pigtails and glasses? Thanks.All my love,
Butch
