Introduction
Figurative language and punctuation
Figurative language is an amazingly useful thing to use, especially for stories. But it can be very confusing in some cases, for example:
the tree shook, angrily in the wind
Is this a simile or a metaphor? It's neither. It is a personification. Some of you might already know this but there are also some punctuation mistakes like
missing of capitals, no need of commas, and miss of full stops.
The tree shook angrily in the wind.

Task
You must make a small poem about the country/outback
Rhymes do not need to be included in the poem, but the poem must include at least three of these figurative language: metaphors, similes, oxymoron, onomatopoeia, personification, paradox and/or hyperbole.
It would be good to have a paragraph.
