__Space Mountain__

Whoosh!!! The rocket rumbled as it sped over the tracks like sound waves moving through the air. Dad and I were on one of the darkest roller coaster rides in Disney Land, America. My tummy had butterflies that felt as big as elephants. I looked around, it was pitch black, other than the faint twinkling of stars all around us, you could see absolutely nothing. That didn’t make a difference, you could definitely hear things, there was people screaming as loud as they could as if it would make a difference to the speed we were going. Suddenly we sped up and I clutched the bar until I could feel my knuckles go white. Looking ahead I could see we were coming to a hill and dad yelled to me “hold on, we’re going down!

Whooahhh!!! The rocket raced down, down, down until I felt a little bit sick and giddy, my tummy was churning and tumbling like a washing machine going around and around, I had almost had enough when it all started again, slowly going up a hill and Whoosh! Rapidly we were falling… falling… falling and finally the wind was wildly blowing my hair every where and in the end we got to the bottom of the descent and we slowed down and steadily the machine chugged along the tracks letting us have another good look around us and the roller coaster stopped as suddenly as it started. Slowly Dad and I got up feeling dizzy and worn out from all the ups and downs we experienced.

Everybody filed off and looking around I could see that everybody was looking like they just been sparked by electricity because their hair was literary flying everywhere! I wondered to myself if my hair was looking like that. We walked out of the building and there was mum and Corban waiting outside, looking as if they had had the time of their life while we were gone, having a full on roller coaster ride. Other than the fact that I started feeling sick and I had big elephants in my tummy it was actually quite fun and after I had got over the shock of the Space Mountain “I want to do that again!” I yelled!

__ Personification __

__Personification does not compare two items in the same way as similes and metaphors compare. Rather, when writers use personification, they give objects (or even ideas) human qualities. These human qualities add a new dimension to the things, a dimension that ordinary description cannot add. "The field of dandelions danced in the breeze," is an example of a sentence which contains personification. Notice that the field of dandelions is the thing being described and that danced is the human quality given to the field. We do not normally associate dandelions with dancing, but we can imagine how dandelions would look "dancing" in the breeze.__

__Authors use personification to make fiction seem more real and make their writing more livelier.__

__Copy this table into your own Wiki and below write the object and the human quality.__

Metaphors Metaphors are imaginative ways to describe something by comparing that thing to something else. For example, if I wanted to say that Dan is tall, I could say that Dan is a giant.

Use a metaphor to describe somebody who is:

tall- Bobby is the Eiffel Tower kind- Sophie is a lovely gift fast- Izzy is a rocket slow- Shaun is a snail smart- Paul is a brain box fat- Kelly is a big couch potato sneaky- Charlotte is slinky malinky angry- Kevin was a thunder storm ready to explode. ugly- Dianne is an awful painting beautiful- Karen is the setting sun stubborn- Peter was a mule right at that point

short- Anna is a dwarf thin- Harry is a twig silly- Rodulf is a clown scared easily- Tayla was a coward ghost. He is a giant- He is very tall She is an angle- She is indecisive
