Figure of speech metaphor

Answer 1

Simile is a figure of speech used to compare two things. They commonly contain the words like or as. The following are some examples.

"Did something frighten you? You are as white as a sheet"

"She follows him around like a puppy."

"He must have been starving. He is eating like a horse."

"Your gram is as old as Methuselah."

Answer 2

A metaphor is a figure of speech that uses a comparison to something else to describe a thing. Metaphors do not use the words "like" or "as". An example of a metaphor is "her sweater was made of clouds", because it describes the softness of the sweater, which is not literally made of clouds.

Answer 3

Yes, but similies are also frequently used in poetry as well as prose. A simile is a comparison between two objects or people that uses the words "like" or "as." For example: "My love is like a red, red rose," (Robert Burns) and "(They looked at) his legs, which were as white as alabaster," (Miguel Cervantes).

A metaphor is a literary device that compares two items directly; unlike the similie, it does not use "like" or "as." For example: "No man is an island unto himself," (John Dunne). Metaphors are also widely used in creative poetry and prose.
