"The fire's anger could not be contained" is neither a metaphor, nor a simile. It is an example of personification.
No, that is not a simile. It is a personification because it gives human emotions (anger) to the fire. A simile explicitly uses "like" or "as" to compare two unlike things.
Yes, "the fires anger could not be contained" is a metaphorical expression. It uses the image of a fire to convey intense emotions that are uncontrollable and overwhelming.
It is a simile, they use like or as. Like many similes, you could convert it to a metaphor: "In the ring, his hands became bolts of lightning."

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
"Young monkey" used as a literary term could be a metaphor or a simile, depending on the context. If it is used to compare someone's behavior or characteristics to that of a young monkey, it would be a metaphor. If it is used as a direct comparison using "like" or "as," it would be a simile.

He's exaggerating (and using a metaphor), but you could reply,"But my heart is warm" (literal)"But my heart's on fire!" (metaphor)"But my heart is like a furnace!" (simile)
Using a simile or metaphor can be confusing if the comparison isn't clear or if it is too complex for the audience to understand easily. This could lead to misinterpretation or misunderstanding of the intended message. It's important to ensure that the comparison is relatable and enhances the clarity of the communication.
Use like and as.Example: instead of saying ' You're Albert Einstein' you could say "you're as smart as him".
