Criminal Justice Class 8

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Fluff class today. That's better than the No Class that I was expecting, though.]

*Tick is at the podium, as normal. Well, as normal as ever. He looks slightly worn out, as if he had been struggling with something.*

Egads! Writing a test is TOUGH!

I'm a little pressed for time today, but I wanted to work on one of your less developed Justice-related skills: metaphors. A cunning metaphor when talking to someone after stopping an evildoer can help build your reputation as a the Surfboard of Righteousness on the Gnarly Wave of Lawlessness! Grab that curl, students, and hang ten!

So today's discussion is to come up with a metaphor to complete one of the following sentences:

*Justice is...

*Professor The Tick is...

*Crime is...

And remember, extra credit bird calls are still being accepted, and our first exam will take place a week from today.

Crime is... bad?

No, no, Aeryn. Use a metaphor! Figurative language! Use the pigments of words to paint a picture!

[can_be_more]

Crime is... like a bad thing that... is really wrong.

Getting closer! Yes, crime is A Thing! What kind of Thing, though? How about an animal? But what kind of animal? Aardvark... Plotypus... Polar Bear...

Oh! I know what a polar bear is!

So... crime is like a polar bear.

Now, how is crime like a polar bear? Is it covered in snowy white fur that allows it to hide in the Antarctic of Living? Does it eat the Fish of Innocence from the Frozen Lake of Society?

Go ahead! Give it a try!

Crime is like a polar bear that...

I don't actually know anything about polar bears. They're white and... fuzzy like a bunny plate.

So crime is... like a polar bear, white and fuzzy like a bunny plate! *looks pleased*

Bunny... plate? Well, you certainly get a "Keen" for effort! And for showing up.

Although "Crime is like..." indicates that you used a simile. If it were just "Crime is a polar bear..." it would be a true metaphor. But, still, you've come far in pretty much no time! Brava!

They're bad, which is why Janet broke them all, I think. I don't know.

Crime is a polar bear, white and fuzzy like a bunny plate!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Well done, Aeryn! Even I have no clue what it means, so it must be good!
