Why is a simile effective?

Answer 1

Adds emphasis, the readers can get a clearer image in their minds and it makes the phrase more interesting.

;)

Answer 2

because it creates a contrast between two different subjects. It gives the reader a real, vivid picture in his mind instead of an adjective.

For example, instead of saying "Her long hair was golden yellow", we could use a simile and say, "Her hair was like a ray of sunshine". In turn, the reader imagines her hair long and gold.

Answer 3

A simile is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another of a different kind,as an illustration or ornament (e.g.as brave as a lion or as strong as an ox).

The effect that a simile has in a poem is that it paints a picture in our minds because a simile is a descriptive set of words.

Answer 4

If you want to persuade in a way of being overacted. Using similes also help describe a object,person,animal,or otherwise noun.

NOTE:Similes are only similes if they use "like" or "as" in it. If it doesn't, then it is labeled as a metaphor, which usually declares it as what is looks,feels,or in some way seems like.

Example of a simile:The coat is as wet as a rainforest.

Example of a metaphor:The coat is a storm of wet.

**Storm of wetness.

It's all about the details ; )
