Metaphors compare two different things using the words "is" or "are" to suggest a relationship between them. This comparison helps evoke a deeper meaning or understanding of the subject being described.
A simile is a comparison of two objects using the words "like" or "as." For example: That soup was as salty as the ocean! Similes are like metaphors except that metaphors do not use like or as.
A metaphor compares one thing to something else; it DOES NOT use the words, like or as.Example: Her hair is silk. Simple and straight, the effect of metaphors is that it aims to create imagery so that we may visualize the connection between two objects or things when they are not. Metaphors are just the use of direct comparison.
Those two words are synonyms.
A simile compares two things using the words like or as to develop the comparison - This is True

I would not want to say "no" to your request.
No, metaphors do not use the words "like" or "as" to compare two things. Instead, they make a direct comparison by stating that one thing is another, highlighting similarities between them without using these comparative terms. For example, saying "time is a thief" is a metaphor that implies time steals moments from our lives. In contrast, similes do use "like" or "as" for comparisons, such as "time is like a thief."
