"I'm cold as cold as cold can be"

"I'm cold as cold as cold can be" is a line from one of my favorite songs. It's Into the Ocean by Blue October. I love how vivid the details are in that song, it makes it easier to visualize it and I'm more of a visual person. But, a line from the in-class writing is the first line I wrote, "This morning I huddled against the stinging wind to my frozen shell of a car." I like this because I was able to be more descriptive with it. I love using different words to give a sentence clearer meaning. A lot of times this is hard for me to do though. I like the shell analogy because it describes an empty object that seems like it could break at any minute, it's fragile from being frozen all night long. There is an emptiness to the car.
