Allegory and Simile

It compares the the nail to how hard it is.

No, Golgotha is not a simile. Its name means in the ancient hebrew language 'place of a skull'. The hebrew word 'skull' (transliteration gulgaleto) is very similiar to the english name 'Golgotha'.

There is only one mount which appears like a skull near the ancient wall of Jerusalem, and that mount is just outside the Lion's Gate. (see www.golgotha.eu) Origin, at about 200 AD, describes the place in this way:

A spot there is called Golgotha,-of old the fathers' earlier tongue thus called its name, "The skull-pan of a head:" Origin Against Marcion Book II 259

In appearance it is like a head looking at the altar and the temple entrance, for the view of the ancient temple and the altar were easily visible from this mount. This mount personifies the LORD looking at where the Israelites make their sacrifices.

Abraham called it JHWH Jireh (Gen 22,14 The LORD sees), for the LORD is personified in this mount. Directly in the line of view of this mount the altar was made, and on the north side the sacrifices were made, before the LORD. (Lev 1,11) In the same verse it states 'In the mount the LORD is seen'. This is referring to its appearance as a head, personifying the LORD. Later, because of the sin of Israel, it looked more like a skull than a head. The real name of the mount is 'JHWH Jireh', given by Abraham. But the name it was known by in the days of Jesus was Golgotha.

it is a personification, since wheel's don't squeal, a human characteristic, so much as squeak.

No, an allegory is a story that is told to make a point about something else in society by drawing parallels. The movie "District Nine" is about humans interacting with aliens, but it's an allegory about race relations. Several classic Star Trek episodes were allegories about the then-current political situation. The book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S.Lewis is said to be a Christian allegory, where Aslan represents Christ.

That's the classic "Oh Promise Me" from Reginald DeKoven's "Robin Hood" operetta, and the lyrics were penned by Clement W. Scott.

a simile is compared with "like" or "as", a metaphor is comparing using is, or without "like or "as".

The moon during harvest looks like a great pumpkin in the sky. - Simile

The harvest moon is a great pumpkin in the sky. - Metaphor

A hyperbole is a figure of speech exaggerates statements and is not generally taken literally.

For example, "I have a million things to do." or "I could eat a cow."

A simile is also a figure of speech that compares two things using "like" or "as."

For example, "He runs like a cheetah."

The poet's son will travel unrestricted and unbridled; free like the breeze through the beauties of Nature and listen to the everlasting language through which God communicates.

a simile is like a comparison or analogy, they are common in song lyrics- take the parody on the familiar Yule song- A Blonde, a Blonde, Naturally endowed, with a Breast as big as a cow. the verb as in the second clause makes it a simile, historicaly a simile uses Like or as- ( Blind as a bat) (Like a Rose). there are many in songs.

Simile is grammatical term used to compare two objects!

No, a simile

Teams of people can accomplish more than individuals in great undertakings. A team of thieves can be organized. A command structure makes coordination flow more smoothly. Customs, mores and rules evolve. Thieves steal. It is good to steal if you are a thief. It is not good to disrupt the team..the group...the family by stealing from each other. "We must be able to trust each other in order to be maximally effective."

The rule becomes "we must treat the insiders, the other thieves with honor." The meaning of "honor among thieves" is the idea that lying thieving bastards can trust each other.

not really. a simile is when you are comparing something to something else e.g. the orange beach ball is as orange as the sun. you are not comparing something with something else if that makes sense. it depends though- its best to ask an English teacher :)

The abbreviation for the word "college" is "colg".

My best guesses are the following:

Paradox: A statement that may need to be solved and is generally composed of contradictory words or phrases.

e.g. "I don't play solitaire because every time I win, I beat myself!"

Anomaly: A shocking event that has happened, which defies knowledge, logic, or science and may never happen again.

Oxymoron: Words or phrases that are accepted, but are complete opposites of each other. e.g. "Jumbo shrimp", "The silence was deafening."

Redundancy: Phrase or words that are different, but have the same meaning, and are used to describe something. It means repetition.

e.g. The tall giant, the big mansion, the strong body builder.

This sentence contains a "simile." A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things, using "like" or "as" to show that there is a relationship. In this case, we have a person (you) being compared to "old hens." Obviously, people are not the same as hens, but the author wants you to picture in your mind that the person is chattering away ("jawin'" is western and southern slang for talking too much); and all that talking reminds the author of the sounds of squawking hens.

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.

A abstract metaphor is something like Bravery is a stick or life is a maze with many ways to get lost and you only have one chance at it. It is a metaphor that uses abstract words, maybe like life, fear, bravery, courage, or war.
