It's a simile.
Well, isn't that just a happy little accident of words! When we say the bar of soap was a slippery eel during the dog's bath, we're using a simile to compare the soap to an eel, emphasizing how hard it is to hold onto. And the metaphor of the slippery eel adds a playful touch to the description, making it more vivid and fun to imagine. Just like painting, language can create beautiful pictures in our minds.
The metaphor "the bar of soap was a slippery eel" suggests that the soap was difficult to hold onto, much like an eel that slips away easily. This imagery conveys the frustration of trying to keep the soap in hand while bathing the dog, emphasizing the challenge of managing a slippery object in a chaotic situation. It also adds a playful tone to the description, highlighting the unpredictability of bath time.
If you have ever tried to grab hold of an eel, you will realise the similarity between that and trying to catch a slippery bar of soap in a bath.
This phrase is likely a metaphor to describe how difficult it was to hold onto the bar of soap while bathing the dog, as if it was as slippery and hard to grasp as an eel. It conveys the idea of the soap constantly slipping out of the person's hand during the bath.
Silly snakes slithered silently. Slippery soap suds slid swiftly. Sparkling stars shone sweetly. Swift seagulls soared serenely. Sunlit streets shimmered softly. Snowy slopes sparkled silently. Swaying sunflowers sang softly.
