How do you write a simile?

Answer 1

Since similes are comparisons and a form of metaphors you can make it more of a statement then a comparison... ie:

She's like a bull in a china shop (simile)

She's a bull in a china shop (metaphor)

The trick is that you need to always use "like" or "as" in your similes.

metaphors are written without "like" or "as"

ex: he is a snake.
