If so, that would be a simile.

Yea, he used as which is a simile not a metaphor. Surprised

It can be a simile or metaphor, since I don't say whether the daisies 'were' or 'like' the soldiers Wink

It was only part that was remotely like a metaphor. Smile

And it isn't really a true oxymoron, as it doesn't contradict itself. Wink

I got an A* Very Happy

10/10 for content and 9/10 for spelling, grammar and punctuation.

Ditto with Jelly.

@Trick: Is that your first one? There are two in a normal course, our teacher said. We did both early, at the end of year nine.

10/10 10/10 for the first
9/10 9/10 for the second

10 and 9 are good scores, especially as they get you a predicted A*

Your actual grade for that piece is the two content scores added together and then the average of your two accuracy scores.

10+9 = 19

19+ ((10+9)/2) = 28.5

So I scored 28, which is borderline A*

As far as I can remember, A is 25+ and A* is 28+

At least, that was at our school, and we follow the curriclulum

We haven't done our second ones yet. We're doing them next week. It shouldn't be too bad.

28+ Seems a little too high in my opinion. I think it's around 26/7+

by **Aletrius** Sat Nov 06, 2010 4:01 am

Could be a different board, remember.

by **MarkyDMan** Sat Nov 06, 2010 4:04 am

@Trick: I could have sworn I was borderline, and I got 28.

But yead, you've set yourself up for a good score. You can get 9 and 9 and draw equal with me still

by **Trick** Sat Nov 06, 2010 4:06 am

Like Thomas said, we could have different boards. I just hope I can do as well on the Jaws film review.
