Assignment Write Up:

This assignment has really intrigued me and my brain has been working as hard as it can to pump out different and individualistic metaphors. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be to create metaphors based off of words that can be very abstract or already have trite connotations to them. I still find myself (with the majority of the words/ideas i picked) to relate somehow back to food (which stems from comfort.) Overall, the ideas are very fun and almost comedic in effect. Id like to run with this idea for a while and see where it takes me. Some great work can really stem out of great foods.
