Oh honey, let me break it down for you. Saying "food without salt is like eating cardboard" is a simile, not a metaphor. A simile uses "like" or "as" to compare two things, while a metaphor just states that one thing is another. So next time someone tries to correct you, you can tell them to take a hike!
simile
Metaphor: Comparison without Like or As. Has the Courage of a lion.
simile---if it uses like or as, it is a simile........if a comparison is made without using like or as it is a metaphor
A=B is a metaphor because "A" EQUALS "B" making it a metaphor, if it were a simile than "A" would resemble or be similar to "B".
A simile is when something is described by comparing it to something else by using the words "as", "like" or "than". For example "float like a feather" or "green as grass". The difference between a simile and a metaphor is that the metaphor says that something is. Simile - Her hair is like gold in the sun. Metaphor - Her hair is gold in the sun.

To determine if the comparison in line six is a simile or a metaphor, we need to look for specific language. A simile uses "like" or "as" to make a comparison, while a metaphor directly states that one thing is another without those words. If line six uses "like" or "as," it's a simile; if it does not but implies a direct equivalence, it's a metaphor. Without the actual text, I can't definitively categorize it.
