Metaphor because it compares items without using like or as
It is a Metaphor
That is a simile. Jenny is a bird is a metaphor.
Any comparison that uses like or as is a simile. Otherwise it is a metaphor. Like a giant bird flapping its wings, the airplane flew over the field. Simile. The airplane accelerated down the runway and with a mighty leap the giant bird flew into the sky. Metaphor
As shocked as a bird landing on live wire. :)
"The violin sang sweetly like a bird in flight."
That phrase is a simile because you used like. Any comparison using like or as is a simile. "He was as big as a mountain" is a simile. You could make it a metaphor by saying Jenny's voice is a bird singing a beautiful song. :D
A metaphor directly substitute one thing for another as a comparison. Instead of using a simile, "Hope is like a bird," the metaphor might be, "Hope is a thing with feathers."
A metaphor is saying something is something, not like. An example would be:- His heart was made of stone. However a simile would be, It was like his heart was made from stone.- The plane was a bird, soaring through the sky. The simile for this would be. The plane was like a bird, soaring through the sky.
The simile in the poem "Boy on a Swing" compares the boy's swing to a "giant bird on the wing" to convey the image of the swing soaring through the air as if it were a bird in flight.
Yes, the phrase "her voice was as beautiful as a singing bird" is a metaphor because it compares the beauty of the person's voice to the beauty of a singing bird, highlighting the melodious and pleasant quality of her voice.
