Similes and metaphors are both alike in the fact that they are ways to make comparisons. The difference between the two is that similes making comparisons using like or as, while metaphors do not.

They are alike, because they both compare unlike things. However, in a metaphor, you cannot use like or as. In a simile you may use like or as.

An example of a simile is in the latter. The little girl was as quick as lightning.

An example of a metaphor is in the latter. The pillow was a soft, silky cloud.
