List everything that you notice about this sentence:
"My sweat smells like peanut butter."
from Wendy Mass, Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life
Sample observations:
This sentence has quotation marks at the ends. That means someone is speaking.
It begins with a capital letter.
It ends with a period.
The verb is "smells."
The subject is sweat.
Is "like peanut butter" a simile? (Actually it may be literal instead of figurative, so would not be a simile. His sweat may really smell like peanut butter.)
List everything that you notice about this sentence:
"My hair wakes up stupid."
