Every year, English teachers from across the country can submit their collections of actual analogies and metaphors found in high school essays. These excerpts are published each year to the amusement of teachers across the country.

Occasionally it’ll back down to 4 or 5. Oftentimes my right hand tingles.  Umpteen x-rays and MRI’s have confirmed absolutely nothing.  A little stenosis (tightening of the space around the nerve) and a little arthritis, loss of curvature, but nothing that you can put your finger on and say, “If we cut that out it will take your pain away.” The Kitchen Sink 2008-10-03T12:54:00-05:00 http://charlesmartinbooks.com/blog/the_untouchables/#When:12:54:00Z
