Concept note-1: -The first line, butterflies are as light as feathers, is an example of a simile. The author is comparing the butterfly to a feather.
Concept note-2: -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.
Concept note-3: -Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know which one you’re going to get. Let’s use this example to understand what a simile is: A simile is a phrase that uses a comparison to describe. For example, “life” can be described as similar to “a box of chocolates.”
Concept note-4: -How do similes and metaphors differ? 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.
