Does a metaphor use as?

I say the word ''metaphor.''

what is a metaphor for a canoe

He used a metaphor to desciribe the swaying trees.

The lifeboat metaphor.

a metaphor doesn't use any specific words, But a metaphor can not use the words "like" or "as". If "like" or "as" is used, it's a simile. A Metaphor is "something used to represent something else" or "A comparison between two things, without using like or as". For example: "life is a journey" - This is a metaphor because it is comparing Life to a Journey, and does NOT use like or as.

You must find a simple metaphor to use.

yes it is. a metaphor doesn't use like or as

it is a simile because a metaphor doesn't use like or as.

An extended metaphor is a metaphor that is started early in the work, usually at the beginning, but it can be added later, that evolves and stretches itself throughout the passage. For example if you were to write a paper, and use a road as a metaphor for the path of life, and you were to develop and use this metaphor throughout the paper then it would be an extended metaphor.

a metaphor and similie is when you are comparing two things but a similie uses like or as. a metaphor doesn't use like or as.

A metaphor uses does not use like or as. The sun was a radiant bulb of brilliance.

Metaphor...similes use like or as

You could use "a twig".

Uh...I guess you will just have to another metaphor to describe the sentence!always remind your self

In simile, you use the words like, as. For example: "She is cute as a puppy." In metaphor, it does not use the words like, as. For example: "He is a pig." So to transform a simile to a metaphor, you should not use the words, like, as in the sentence. For example: Simile- I eat like a pig. Metaphor - I am a pig. Hope this helps.

It is a metaphor because similes use the words "like" & "as".

No, not on its own. Metaphor depends on context; how you use it makes it one.

It is true as cannot be used in a metaphor. A metaphor is a comparison of two things without using like or as. If you use as it will be a simile!

A use of extended metaphor.

As stubborn as a mule.

If you are asking this question because you know that a simile uses 'like' or 'as', a metaphor doesn't really use any specific word. A metaphor acts like something IS something else, like "Emily is a rose". So, I guess a metaphor technically uses the 'to be' verb.

yes as long as you don`t use like or as

You use a metaphor based on the ocean like... The sea's waves curl as a tornado spins.

A metaphor directly substitute one thing for another as a comparison. Instead of using a simile, "Hope is like a bird," the metaphor might be, "Hope is a thing with feathers."
