Allegory is a form of extended metaphor, in which objects, persons, and actions in a narrative, are equated with the meanings that lie outside the narrative itself.

How do you use simile's describing face?
Well, it really depends on what the person's face your describing looks like. Is his/her face round or oval-shaped? What color eyes do they have? Is his/her face clean or dirty? Does he/she have freckles, dimples, etc.. There are all kinds of questions you can ask yourself when your trying to describe someone's face. You have to have the basics down-descriptions of what their face looks like before you can start comparing it to someone or something else. Once you have that down you can start thinking about what or who this person reminds you of. Here are some examples so you can see what I mean. Remember-a simile is a comparison between two things using like or as.
1.) Lets say the girl's face is beautiful, flawless, and clean. You could say-The girl's face is as gorgeous as an angel's.
2.) Another example could be if the boy had gorgeous, bright blue eyes. You could say-Whenever I saw the boy's eyes, it was as if I was staring at gorgeous sapphires.
