Allegory and Simile

Get your parent's permission and go put a skillet on the stove and let it get hot. Now, sprinkle a few drops of water on the hot skillet. See how it behaves? Now you know for sure what the simile means.

well, a little. it did use the word "as" but i don't think it is a simile. a simile uses the words "like" or "as" (example:asbig as a bus) or (the wind was like a ghost);this means it was very windy.

Sarbanes Oxley act.Otherwise known as Public companies accounting reforms and investor protection act. It was enacted in 2002 in USA

The similes are "raining like an open faucet" or "coming down like Niagara Falls." Another simile is "raining buckets."

The familiar idiom is "raining cats and dogs."

Yes that is a simile. I t is a simile because there is an 'as' in it. Simileys, have 'as ', 'as as' or 'like'. True. Similes are when you use 'like' or 'as' to compare something.

There is only one similie that i found when i was doing my homework, it was "dreams as happy as her day" and the metaphor is when he refers to himself as dust. Hope this helped

The simile in your sentence is "like roses".

Saltier than potato chipsrough as sandpaper

Imagery isn't a "figure of speech" nor does it involve the *physical* senses literally. Imagery is created using descriptive words and phrases to evoke a "mental picture" of the scenes (not so much scenery, actual scenes) in a book. Definition from dictionary.com: Imagery: 1.the formation of mental images, figures, or likenesses of things, or of such images collectively: the dim imagery of a dream. 2.pictorial images. 3.the use of rhetorical images. 4.figurative description or illustration; rhetorical images collectively. 5.Psychology. mental images collectively, esp. those produced by the action of imagination.

I have been getting numerous phone calls from this mysterious ICLLC with a phone number 1-302-369-3107. If we answer the phone no one is there and within a few seconds the call disconnects. If the call goes into the answering machine no one leaves a message. Yesterday, November 19, 2008, I did a search on the internet and found that many people are reporting the same problem. Well, they called again today. I picked up the phone but did not say anything. Within a minute someone came on the line and asked to speak to my husband. I asked who was calling and they said "Bank of America". I then told them of the problems this number has caused and asked to speak to a supervisor. I spoke with Amy Obot, Senior Sales Representative of Innovative Consultants, L.L.C. Bank of America has contracted this company to call their customers to advertise something regarding Identity Theft. I asked Ms. Obot for her direct line, and she gave me that same number. I'm not happy but at least now I know what ICLLC is, and Bank of America is to blame for bothering my entire family for the past few weeks.

That's a simile because it uses the word "as" and compares two different things.

Eg. for metaphor: "oh listen for the vale profound is overflowing with the song".

Used for comparison. Similes indirectly compare two ideas and allow them to remain distinct in spite of their similarities. Your similes are record setting runner and fast as a speeding bullet in the sentence below. Ex: Chris was a record-setting runner and as fast as a speeding bullet

Shape shifters, candy floss, cushions, mashed potato, Cotten wall, marshmallows, faces, stepping stones, islands. hope I helped you <3

if your talking about the song "replay" then yes it does. for example "shorty's LIKE a melody in my head" is using like to compare something, so it is a simile. :)

Synecdoche

Yes. The Bible book of Revelations calls the resurrected lamb "Son of the right hand" which is pronounced BENJAMIN in Hebrew language.

"When the field workers are all virgins" isn't a simile. A simile is a direct comparison using the words like or as. I think its a metaphor.. google it. :P

I couldn't find any metaphors :(

It could be a dead metaphor. However, there is another interpretation: It is a personification :the mist as a man and the sun as a woman who is veiled. As the sun is a source of beauty and light, it is like the beautiful woman and the mist here as a jealous man. Notice also the paradox between "the mist" as a symbol of gloom and the sun as a symbol of optimism.

"creeping like snail", "sighing like furnace", and "bearded like the pard".
