The prime minister turned overnight from

[Bassim]

I am wondering if my sentences are grammatically correct. I have used "fortified tower" and "rickety shed" symbolically.

The prime minister turned overnight from a fortified tower into a rickety shed. Without friends and allies, she cuts a lonely figure, vulnerable and doomed to downfall.

 

[emsr2d2]

It's fine. In fact, I rather like it.

(I wonder who "she" could be! ;-))

 

[jutfrank]

Nice. (I wonder who inspired you to create this example!)

By the way, you haven't used those phrases "symbolically", but metaphorically.


(Edit: Once again, emsr2d2 got there before me!)

jutfrank,

Honestly, nobody inspired me to write the above sentence. I just like to read all kinds of books, and I listen to the UK radio every day in order to know what is happening in the UK politics and other spheres of life. I am just trying to express myself so that a reader gets a picture in his mind, which would lead him or her to their own associations and thoughts.

 

[emsr2d2]

I think jutfrank was asking the same question as I was (sarcastically, since we both know exactly who it's about).

 

[Bassim]

emsr2d2,

I apologise for misunderstanding jutfrank's question. I read his post quickly without thinking what he actually meant.

Yes, well, you've obviously done a good job. emsr2d2 and I had identical associations and then identical reactions.

You might want to consider placing overnight at the end of the sentence.

Capital!
