The whole sentence is a simile. The definition of a simile is a sentence using like or as.
In "War Horse," a simile is used when describing how a horse's hooves sounded like drumbeats on the ground. This comparison helps create a vivid image of the horse's powerful and rhythmic movement.

I like to eat apples ********************* Improv: He was as high as a kite
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.
"To eat like a horse" means to eat a LOT of food.
In simile, you use the words like, as. For example: "She is cute as a puppy."In metaphor, it does not use the words like, as.For example: "He is a pig."So to transform a simile to a metaphor, you should not use the words, like, as in the sentence.For example:Simile- I eat like a pig.Metaphor - I am a pig.Hope this helps.
