That is a simile becuase it uses as. Metaphors don't use "like" or "as".
A simile is a comparison of two objects using the words "like" or "as." For example: That soup was as salty as the ocean! Similes are like metaphors except that metaphors do not use like or as.
No. If a comparison uses like or as, it becomes a simile.
Metaphor. Metaphors are straight comparisons, whereas Similes use a comparing word. Did that make sense?
A metaphor
It is a simile because it uses the word "like." Metaphors do not use this word.
this is a metaphor. like or as are used in simlies, in metaphors people use was and were and stuff
figures of speech or figurative imagery
simile
People use metaphors to better describe how people act, look etc. It just helps with description eg. He is a pig. (He is unclean, messy and has bad table manners) Or you could use a simile eg. He is like a pig (The same as metaphors but a not quite as strong)
Actually, no. They have some differences.
