They give a description of the item/action being compared

eg. 'His face was as white as paper' would give the impression that the character was scared, worried or ill depending on when/how it is used.

Similes are used to create vivid comparisons between two different things, often to evoke a particular image or emotion in the reader's mind. They can enhance the descriptive quality of a text and make it more engaging for the audience.

A simile is a comparison of two things that have something in common but are really very different. The words "like" and "as" are usually used in similes. Example: "The baby was as happy as a lark." Example: "She is like a ray of sunshine to my tired eyes." Example : "Life is like a box of chocolates."
