Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can explain and analyse Chandler's use of similes.

Show transcript
Writers may use similes in order to create emphatic, evocative images for the reader. Chandler compares Anna Halsey’s appearance to "suet" and her desk to "Napoleon’s tomb". Arguably, the comparison of her appearance to "suet" may imply that she has a hard exterior. Furthermore, the comparison of her desk to "Napoleon’s tomb" may imply she’s cold in business.
