A day without sunshine would be a dreary day, and dreary days are like night. Plus, it's darker than when the sun isn't out, like night.
as sad as a hound dog
Her smile was a drop of sunshine on a cloudy day.A metaphore is comparing something without using like or as. :)
My example is "when I am sad, I am like a wolf without a pack."
Instead of using "like" or "as" in a metaphor, you can use words such as "is," "represents," or "functions as." These terms help create a more direct comparison without the simile structure. For example, instead of saying "Her smile is like sunshine," you could say "Her smile is sunshine." This approach enhances the intensity of the metaphor.

Well, darling, that quote is basically saying that ignorance is like stumbling around in the dark without a damn flashlight. Your mind is in the dark, clueless and lost, with no guidance or insight to help you find your way. It's a poetic way of saying that ignorance is a real dumb way to live your life.
In chapter 23 of "Tuck Everlasting," there is personification used to describe the night: "Night stretched its arms around the world." This quote attributes human-like qualities to the night, portraying it as if it was alive and capable of embracing the world.

One famous daisy quote that is inspiring is "And like a flower in the night, your light shines through the darkness."
It means that children always have courage. It's a rarity to find a night without stars, just like it is rare to find a child without courage.
My example is "when I am sad, I am like a wolf without a pack."
