In this quickwrite exercise, reflect on a relationship you have experienced—personal, business, academic, or other. Use metaphor to compare this relationship to one of the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, or winter. Write your thoughts in a well-structured paragraph or more on a separate sheet of paper, explaining how the chosen season symbolizes the characteristics, emotions, or dynamics of your relationship. This exercise enhances creative thinking and analytical skills by blending personal experience with literary metaphor.
