Detailed explanation-1: -A simile is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things using the words “like” or “as.” Common similes include the descriptive phrases “cool as a cucumber, ” “cold as ice, ” and “sly like a fox.” Writers often use similes to introduce concrete images into writing about abstract concepts.
Detailed explanation-2: -Similes compare two unlike things using like or as. So, “she is as pretty as her mother, ” is not a simile because it doesn’t use imagery to show how one thing is like another unlike thing.
Detailed explanation-3: -Remember, a simile compares two two similar things using like or as. A metaphor, on the other hand, makes the assertion that something is something else, as opposed to being like something else.
Detailed explanation-4: -As slow as a sloth. As busy as a bee. As innocent as a lamb. As proud as a peacock. As fast as a cheetah. As blind as a bat. As bold as brass. As cold as ice. More items
