I was bored, depressed, and wanted to go outside to play like a regular being should, but here I was stuck under this roof reading. I wanted to go outside but it seemed to be raining for forever.2) It was raining cats and dogs today! I wanted to go out side so much. The playing equipment was calling me, the park was longing for me, my friends were beckoning me, but here I was, a dog stuck on a leash. Can't time just fly by like it usually does when I am having a good time?I put in bold all of the text that had figurative language in it. My examples are probably not that good....
