A simile compares two things using like or as. For instance, "She was as beautiful as the setting sun" is an example of a simile.

With a metaphor, you say one thing IS another. For example, "She is a rock beside the road, watching the world go by" is an example of a metaphor.


An analogy is a similarity between like features of two things, on which a comparison may be based.
