  1. Quizzler From the People Who Brought You the Jerksheets & XY & Zams

  2. Question #1 Tell me: What, in the world of literary techniques, is the difference between a m-m-metaphor and a s-s-simile?

  3. Question #2 Identify the metaphor from the ABCD-list below: • He is a couch potato in the gravy boat of life. • Miss Butterworth bantered and barked with her bawling buddy, Billy. • Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze. • Ahh! I just stepped on a metaphor. I didn’t think it would be that sharp.

  4. Question #3 Find the simile like an EBV stray cat finds an unfinished lunch in the trash: • They are as annoying as an ‘unswattable’ mosquito. • That teacher is so mean she could make an onion cry. • She is a poet and didn’t even know it. • Allie the aardvark from Alabama avidly ate ants.

  5. Question #4 Identify at least two examples of alliteration in the poem, “The Homework Machine” by Shel Silverstein.

  6. The Homework machine The Homework Machine, Oh, the Homework Machine Most perfect contraption that’s ever been seen. Just put in your homework, then drop in a dime, Snap on the switch, and in ten seconds’ time, Your homework comes out, quick and clean as can be. Here it is— “nine plus four” and the answer is “three.” Three? Oh me… I guess it’s not as perfect as I thought it would be

  7. Question #5 Underline all words that fully rhyme (“me” and “tea,” for example) and words that half rhyme (“dressed” and “desk,” for example) in the poem “Gorilla” by ShelSilverstein.
