Detailed explanation-1: -Similes use the words “like” or “as”: My father is angry as a bear when he wakes up.
Detailed explanation-2: -Metaphors compare two things by stating that one “is” the other. For example, “My sister is a bear in the morning” compares the sister to a bear by saying she has qualities of a bear. I will give examples of metaphors and identify the objects being compared and their meaning.
Detailed explanation-3: -Simile: Rapunzel’s hair was as soft as clouds. Simile: Cinderella’s slippers were as shiny as the sun. Metaphor: The snow is a white blanket. Metaphor: The calm lake was a mirror about what was to come.
