No, it is a simile. There is a distinct difference between the two terms.
A simile normally contains the word 'like' or it sounds more like a comparison, so for example; as white as a ghost
A metaphor tends to say that something IS something but not literally, just in one specific way for example; a heart of stone ...the heart is not literally made of stone but the metaphor is comparing it to a cold object that does not have emotion.
Oh, dude, that's an easy one! So, like, when everyone was all hyped up for Mars, there was this one rebel in the crowd who was like, "Nah, man, I'm team Maniac all the way!" It was like a mini-revolution in the stands, you know? Like, who needs Mars when you've got a loyal fan base for Maniac, am I right?
No. A metaphor is a form of comparison but not using the words like or as, unlike similes. An example of a metaphor is, "My lamp the sun in the darkness of my room."
I believe you mean "metaphor." A metaphor is a comparison between two unlike things without using the words "like" or "as." It is much like a similie. A similie, however, uses the words "like" or "as." An example of a metaphor would be, "Her words were needles piercing me."
A metaphor directly substitute one thing for another as a comparison. Instead of using a simile, "Hope is like a bird," the metaphor might be, "Hope is a thing with feathers."
It is a metaphor because it does not include like or as.

"Maniac Magee" by Jerry Spinelli is a novel that contains various similes and metaphors. For example, the metaphor of Maniac being called a "maniac" because of his remarkable athletic feats. Additionally, "running like the wind" can be considered a simile used to describe Maniac's speed. These literary devices help create vivid imagery and emphasize the characteristics of the characters and events in the story.
a metaphor uses like or as
A maniac is a person who acts crazy or dangerous. Here are some sentences.You are behaving like a maniac today!The maniac escaped from the mental institution and went on a rampage.She's dancing like a maniac.
A metaphor compares two objects that are different without like or as. A metaphor would be "the moon is a cookie". Kick him right square does not compare two things, so it would not be a metaphor. It seems more like an idiom, which does not mean what it is saying. For example, the idiom "Kick the bucket" means death, but a new speaker to English cannot tell because it does not mean what it literally says.
He acts like a bully and calls Maniac Magee names. He also offers Maniac a bite of his chocolate bar.
No, it is not a metaphor because it uses like or as.
