No. Metaphors do not use the terms "like" or "as" in them. Example: "I'm so hungry, I can eat a horse." You don't really mean you can eat a horse, it's just an expression. A simile uses like or as. Example: "The baby was so small, it looked like a doll." See how they are different? I hope I helped! If not, look up similes and metaphors on google.
"...he could fluff up his tail till it looked like a bottle brush..."
the soles of his bare feet looked as black as barbecue coals.

pg. 77-1 "Everything on the farm was dripping wet. The grass looked like a magic carpet. The asparagus patch looked like a silver forest."
One simile in "Rip Van Winkle" is "looked as sour as vinegar." One personification is the description of the mountains "raising their lofty summits till they were almost lost in the clouds." A metaphor is when Rip is described as a "democratic philosopher" when he is compared to the statue of George III.
Here are a few examples of similes describing someone as skinny: "She was as thin as a pencil," "He looked like a scarecrow in the field," and "Her arms were as slender as twigs." These comparisons vividly illustrate the person's slimness using relatable imagery.
"living like fleas on a dog" "as full of activity as a factory" "the floor looked like christmas morning".

In Neil Gaiman's "Coraline," there are several similes and metaphors used to enhance the storytelling. One example is the metaphor of the "other mother" representing a dark and twisted version of Coraline's real mother. Another example is the simile comparing the button eyes of the other characters to black seeds, symbolizing their lifelessness and lack of humanity. These literary devices help create a sense of unease and emphasize the contrast between the real world and the eerie alternate reality Coraline discovers.
