PLEASE LOOK UNDER THE ASSIGNMENT "MY NAME WRITING ASSIGNMENT" under the topic culture and identity for all the details about what should be included in this assignment.

Please try and format your paper correctly. It should have a title that says "My Name: Insert Name Here". The "Insert Name Here" should be your name. Whichever name you decided to write about. Your writing should be 1 page long and double spaced with a space in-between each paragraph. I attached the copies of the readings we have done so far and your writing should look very similar.
Please email me if you need any help or have any questions or concerns.

What is the Simile AND Metaphor that you will be using in paragraph 1 of your "My Name" Writing Assignment
Remember that a simile is comparing two unlike things using like or as. A metaphor is comparing two unlike things by saying one is the other.
The simile and metaphor should be comparing your name to something else. Something that it can't literally be.
For Esperanza, she said it was a muddy color.
For Linda Mae, she said it sounds like home.
What does your name look like, sound like, smell like, feel like, remind you of etc?
