A simile is easily identifiable in a sentence. It is an exaggerated comparison using the words "like" or "as." My dog is as big as a house! (Note: The dog isn't really as big as a house, but the reader gets the idea that the dog is quite large) I slept like the dead. (Note: The writer didn't literally sleep like a dead person. This is just an exaggeration to explain how the writer's sleep was very deep and untroubled).
