As still as a statue.
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.
In Act 1, Scene 2 Caesar is compared to Colossus, a statue, that overpowered the ground it stood upon. This comparison uses "like" which is used in a simile term. Also found in simile examples from other passages, "as" is commonly used as well.

It's a similie, because it compares something to something else. "My cat stood as still as a statue" means that it was like (or similar to) a statue. You could have a metaphor that use the same imagery. So "The instant it saw the mouse, my cat became a statue." This does not imply that the cat actually transformed into a statue, but it uses the metaphor of an unmoving thing to put an image into your head.
