Remember that the noun and verb combinations are meant to be figurative, NOT literal. They should make sense as an example of “literary language” (not as a realistic sentence). Let’s say that one of my nouns is “music box” and all of my verbs are for professional basketball player, which include “play” and “defend”.
Making this match: “The music box played a song” makes sense in a LITERAL way; it is not an example of figurative language.
This sentence: “The tiny notes coming from the music box defended the ancient melody from extinction” uses the verb in a way that creates a figurative image using connotative language.
Your assignment is to write down your partner’s list of nouns and verbs and construct FIVE good sentences or phrases that make sense IN A FIGURATIVE WAY.
