| High School Essays These are actual passages found in high school essays: Her vocabulary was as bad, as, like, whatever. She grew on him like E. coli and he was room temperature Canadian beef. She had a deep throaty genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before he throws up. He was as tall as a six foot three inch tree. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7 pm instead of 7:30. Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze. The hailstones leaped up off the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease. Long separated by cruel fate, the lovers raced across a grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph. Even in his last years, grandpappy had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while. The Ballerina rose gracefully en pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant. It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to the wall. |

This one tells me that the student that wrote this was really bored and wanted to piss his/her teacher off....
