Her eyes were sapphires Is this a metaphor or simile?
Metaphor. :)If you said, "Her eyes were like sapphires," then that would be a simile, because you are comparing her eyes with sapphires using like or as. An example with using as to make a simile would be, "Her eyes were as beautiful assapphires."With metaphors, you kind of "silently" compare two things, because you don't like or as. Instead, you use is, are, or were to say that her eyes are literally sapphires, but aren't really.Hope that helped. :)
When the principal walked by Sam sat as still as Statue is it smile or metaphor?
Well, honey, if Sam was sitting as still as a statue, then that's a simile, not a metaphor. A simile compares two things using "like" or "as," while a metaphor states that one thing is another. So next time, pay attention in English class, darling.
What is an example of metaphor for me?
A metaphor is a statement that is made that says one thing is something else, but it literally can't be. An example is: "That girl is a cheetah." The reason is that it's saying a girl can be a cheetah when really, she can't. Another would be: "That boy is a rainbow", or "The ice cream is a person." Now if you use 'like' or 'as', it makes it a simile. But that is entirely different; an example of a simile would be "The girl runs like a cheetah", or "He is as fast as a cheetah".Wikipedia uses William Shakespeare's line "All the world's a stage" as an example of a metaphor, explaining that indeed, the world is not a stage.
