a metaphor
Well, it is sort of but not really. A metaphor is like comparing 2 things without using like or as e.g. the sun is a volcano. :)
because they are the same number
480... WITHOUT using a calculator !
4690 without using a calculator !
540... without using a calculator !
nope because then it will turn into a simile
No, a metaphor is a comparison not using like or as. A simile is a comparison that does use like or as.
The word you're looking for is "metaphor." A metaphor directly compares two unlike things by stating one is the other, without using connective words like "like" or "as." For example, saying "Time is a thief" illustrates the concept of time taking away moments in a way that resembles theft.
A simile compares two unlike things using the words "like" or "as." For example, saying "Her smile is like the sun" directly compares the brightness of her smile to the sun. While "than" can be used in comparisons, it is typically found in comparative adjectives rather than similes. The phrase "because" is not used for comparisons but rather to explain reasons.
No, this is an example of personification, where the hare is being described as if it has human qualities (mirth/joy). A metaphor directly compares two unlike things without using "like" or "as".
Yes, "like gentle rain" is a simile because it directly compares two unlike things using "like" or "as." Metaphors, on the other hand, imply a comparison without using these words directly.
That's correct! A simile is a figure of speech that compares two things using "like" or "as" to highlight similarities between them. It helps create vivid imagery and enhance the reader's understanding by drawing a comparison in a clear and direct way.
