Allegory and Simile

as successful as a olympion with a golden medal

technically speaking yes...maybe...kinda...no

Heres an example for a simile:

The man was as tall as the giraffe.

OR

The girl was as fast as a cheetah.

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which two dissimilar things are used to make a comparison, but an extended metaphor is a comparison that is continuously being made throughout a written work (more commonly in poetry).

like or as

No. A metaphor is a form of comparison but not using the words like or as, unlike similes. An example of a metaphor is, "My lamp the sun in the darkness of my room."

The larger symbolic meaning outside the narrative could represent universal themes, societal issues, or philosophical concepts applicable to the real world. The objects, persons, and actions in the narrative may serve as metaphors or allegories to convey deeper messages or reflections on human experiences and emotions. The author could be using the story as a vehicle to explore complex ideas or to make a commentary on the human condition.

A simile is a comparison to something else, using the words like or as. Example: "A good fiction writer of is an author who puts words together like Ernest Hemingway reincarnated."

Comparing two unlike things using "like" or "as" is known as a simile. For example, saying "Her smile was like sunshine" illustrates the warmth and brightness of her smile by comparing it to the sun. This literary device enhances imagery and helps readers understand emotions or qualities in a vivid way. Similes are effective in creating connections between dissimilar concepts, making descriptions more relatable and impactful.

No. If a comparison uses like or as, it becomes a simile.

take out like or as

of course not!

Some books and films that have been inspired by The Allegory of the Cave include "The Matrix" film series, "Dark City" (1998), and "Inception" (2010). These works explore themes of reality, perception, and the nature of truth, reflecting similar concepts found in Plato's allegory.

Evidence proves or disproves a fact.

Yes, this metaphor uses scything up, something that does not literally happen, in order to suggest a similarity to the way the wind is increasing.

Very direct symbolic schemes.

That is a simile though you do have a little rhyming and repetition with the "as" bits.

1. Im feeling so fly like a G

-6

2. They ran like the wind.

1.-a figure of speech in which two unlike things are explicitly compared, as in "she is like a rose." Compare metaphor.

2.-an instance of such a figure of speech or a use of words exemplifying it.

yes

just think of a word like

(how do you describe a dog) and it would be like fuffly kind cute furball. so think of things that gpo with something

A simile is a comparison of two ideas or objects, usually using like or as. Her nose is LIKE a waterfall, always running. Her teeth are LIKE stars, they come out at night. A metaphor is a comparison when one thing is said to BE the other, and is not just a comparison. Her nose IS a waterfall, always running. Her teeth ARE stars, they come out at night.

yes

Since there is no "like" or "as" in the sentence, it is a metaphor.
