simile
A simile is a comparison of two objects using the words "like" or "as." For example: That soup was as salty as the ocean! Similes are like metaphors except that metaphors do not use like or as.
That is a simile becuase it uses as. Metaphors don't use "like" or "as".
Actually, no. They have some differences.
Simile
A metaphor
A metaphor is a way to compare things using the word "is". Simile's are not metaphors because similie's say something is LIKE another thing while metaphors are saying something IS something when it is not.
No. If a comparison uses like or as, it becomes a simile.
The mans hair is as white as snow is a simile.
Yes, it is a simile. Keep in mind that a simile is a metaphor, but not all metaphors are similes. A simile is a metaphor that uses the words like or as for the comparison.
Metaphor. Metaphors are straight comparisons, whereas Similes use a comparing word. Did that make sense?
