Weekend pass , I went alone.
Though one day late, it was my own.
Being back home it was the best.
Peace and quiet, never put to the test.
Always early I awaken.
By my brother, I am shaken.
With my sibling, playing video games.
No arguments, and no needless flames.
Coming back I do regret.
Bonds that I will not forget.

"The Base Stealer" and "The American Hero" Paragraph
I think the character in the story is proud because he maybe scored, and the crowds pumped up.Like “taunts them, hovers like an ecstatic bird”, he’s expressing what he feels by taunting the other crowd, which probably thier shawning him.So he’s jumping for joy and putting down the audience.It also is like the star of the night or MVP, something that the people envy so I know they are boo-ing him.If I was him I would say something like “Yeah, I’m back!”.Then shake my head, this was maybe the best simile that’s out.
Similes + Metaphors + Personification = Figurative Language
Metaphors:
1. Love is a rose.
2. Hatred is a burning fire.
3. Life is a symphony.
4. Friendship is a chained link fence.
Similes:
1. Community meetings are like a waiting room.
2. Going on pass is like riding a rollercoaster.
3. The scent of the gym is as bad as a sewer.
4. Being in the house here feels like living on rocks.
Personification:
1. The lighting of the moon guarded me through the darkness.
2. The flower danced in the open breeze.
3. The ringing of the phone screamed at me.4. The car raced swiftly toward the finish line.
