Which analogy is an example of a distraction that is likely to cause readers to miss the point? Lisa reacts very theatrically to unpleasant sights. Her gestures are so exaggerated that she looks like a mime pretending to be caught in a spider web.
Life sometimes feels like a game of chess. You use your best strategy, but you still may get checkmated by a clever opponent.
Melting quickly, the ice cream dripped down the cone-like wax down a candle. Sadly, like a burned-out candle, my ice cream was soon nothing but a pool of liquid.

Either 1, with Lisa, or 4, with the bobcat.

This question leans on the subjective side, in my opinion.

Sorry, I don't think my answer will be of much help.

answer: more info pls

explanation:

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

next normal paragraph continues here…

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?
