Answer:
Explanation:
A simile is a word that compares words in a sentence. You can usually tell if a simile is
present in a sentence when you see the words as or like.
Simile: Don ate his salad like a vacuum cleaner.
His arms were weak and felt like noodles.
The thunder was as loud as fireworks.
Like a simile, a metaphor compares words in a sentence; however, instead of saying that
one thing is like something else, a metaphor actually makes one thing become something
very different by renaming it. A metaphor can sometimes use words like is, are, or was (and
other words) to signal that a metaphor is present. However, a metaphor never uses the words
like or as to compare.
Metaphor: The smoke was cotton balls billowing from the chimney.
You are my hero.
The sun was a furnace.
