Not Right

Recall a time you witnessed a friend do something that you knew was not right. Did you do anything about it? Why or why not?
One time I was at the mall with a few friends.  We were thinking of shopping and then going to watch a movie later on.  At one point one of the girls lost all of her money and she really wanted to buy this shirt she had been looking at for weeks.  Then, I saw an idea pop into her head... she wanted to use the 5 finger discount.  My first reaction was to leave her alone and let it slide but then I realizes how wrong it was and how much trouble she can get in.  I decided to grab her back in and explained that 

Conclusion

The simile used through out  Kurt Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron," Ernest Hemingway's "Hills Like White Elephants" and, Richard Wright's "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" helped the audience better understand what was happening by comparing one thing to another.  In "Harrison Bergeron" the similes enhanced the ideas about how harsh Harrison's handicaps were.  In "Hills Like White Elephants" the author uses simile to explain the setting. In "The Man Who Was Almost A Man," Wright uses examples of simile to describe the authors views and thoughts.  Each story has benefitted from simile because it has given them a more detailed and amusing plot.

Another story that shares a touch of simile is "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" by Richard Wright. This short story takes place during the mid 1900's on a plantation located in the western part of the US. To most men having a gun didn't really mean anything but to Dave it was a whole different story.  Dave receiving the gun meant the world to him because he believed that with this material object he would be look on as a adult from the on.  "Like a hungry dog scratching for a bone, he pawed it up" (Wright 47). The author used this line to help the audience visualize understand how the character, Dave, grabbed his lovely gun.  The authors use of simile helped this story become a a very much more interesting and enjoyable story.
