Detailed explanation-1: -A metaphor is a direct comparison between two things that does not use like or as: Her smile is sunshine.
Detailed explanation-2: -Similes and metaphors are both figures of speech that are used to make a comparison between two things that are not alike. The difference is that similes make the comparison by saying that something is like something else but metaphors make the comparison by saying that something is something else.
Detailed explanation-3: -Metaphors compare two unlike things by saying one IS the other thing, without the “like” or “as.” For example, “Her eyes are stars guiding me home."
Detailed explanation-4: -What is an analogy? An analogy is a comparison made to show how two different things are similar, especially in limited ways. An analogy is a technique frequently used in literature to explain something by comparing it to something else (a literary device). There are several types of analogies you can make.
Detailed explanation-5: -A metaphor is an implied simile. It doesn’t state that one thing is like another or acts as another. Instead it says that the two things are one and the same. A simile, on the other hand, says that one thing is like another.
