The sun was a like a red star rising.

The sky was

The clouds where 

Simile
The trees blow like in a storm.

The sky was grey as storm clouds.

The wind was cold as a storm.

Metaphor
The snowboarder rushed through like rhino.

The snow is sugar.

The tree where covered in a white blanket as of if they would fall in to a never ending slumber.

The wind was as a grizzly bear mad and angry.
