A simile is a more literal interpretation whereas a metaphor is more figurative. Lawyers are like sharks is a simile. A metaphor would be lawyers are sharks.
A=B is a metaphor because "A" EQUALS "B" making it a metaphor, if it were a simile than "A" would resemble or be similar to "B".
That would be a simile.
A simile is a comparison which uses the words "like" or "as". A metaphor is a word which does use "like" or "as". Therefore, "The surge felt 'like' the blood was rushing to your hands" would be a 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.
My bed is LIKE a cloud. A metaphor would be "My bed IS a cloud"
His eyes were a tranquil green pool, flecked with brown and gold in the sunlight (metaphor) or Her eyes were hazel like emeralds burried in dirty (simile)
As sweet as sugar or as sweet as honey.
No it is not a simile because it does not use the term like or as in its description. Were you to say patience is like an hourglass it would be a simile. The way you worded it makes it a metaphor.
"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.
I think it would be a Metaphor........
