Detailed explanation-1: -Similes are indirect comparisons that use the word “like” or “as.” Metaphors are direct comparisons that state one thing is another. Metaphor is the broader of the two terms-it encompasses a range of comparisons, from sentences to entire works.
Detailed explanation-2: -A simile is a comparison between two things that uses the word like or as: Her smile is as bright as sunshine. A metaphor is a direct comparison between two things that does not use like or as: Her smile is sunshine.
Detailed explanation-3: -metaphor/ simile Both make comparisons, but a metaphor compares one thing to another straight up, while a simile uses “like” or “as.” The word metaphor comes from the Greek metaphora “to transfer.” With a metaphor, an idea is transferred from one word to another.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
Detailed explanation-5: -All three use comparisons, but they’re not exactly the same. One point to remember is that metaphors and similes are figures of speech, while an analogy is a type of argument. A metaphor is something, a simile is like something, and an analogy explains how one thing being like another helps explain them both.
