A simile is a comparison of two things using the terms like or as. One might use this in there writing or speech for many reasons but most often either to improve a description or evoke an emotion.
For instance I could say something like, "He wore an arrogant expression"
But it might get my idea across better if I said, "He had a look like he already knew all the answers but just like watching you guess."
Or I could say, "She held him very tightly"
But it would sound much better to say, "She held him as though if she let go she might just float off into the sky"
