Mischievousness
Wile E. Cyote chasing the roadrunner. Flappers in the Jazz age. Cameron Diaz’s smile. The quiet before the storm. Stirring cookie dough vigorously. Waiting for the bread to rise. Writing the Ten Commandments. Folding paper into origami. Throwing rocks at lover’s windows.
Dancing in the rain. Presents opened on Christmas morning. College acceptances in the mail. Michael Jackson’s charges. Lance Armstrong’s ride. Flustering red cheeks in embarrassment. Donald Trump’s you’re fired.
This assignment definitely made me think about the emotions I was feeling (at that particular momenht) and it took me a long time to match emotions with universal references that showed my feelings. This was very difficult for me because I tried so hard to make my metaphors flow well and make some sort of sense.

Lauren, I could feel all of the emotions you felt. You smoothly connected each metaphor. I felt rebellious and excited at first. That slowly led into feeling impatient for a good cause. Then I felt as if I was freed, excited and joyful. Lastly I felt like saying "Oh, no!" for my own cause and then depressed. I kept picturing a small child who did something really bad and was worried about getting caught and just when he thought he was off the hook, he got in trouble. You had heart clenching emotion which shows your excellent writing abilities. Bravo.
