METAPHOR + SIMILE


Simile * "A common figure of speech that makes an explicit comparison between two things by using words such as like and as"


* Dawn breaks open like a wound that bleeds afresh

* The rain falls like the sun, rising upon the mountains

* As wise as an owl

* As light as a feather

* As blind as a bat


Metaphors* "a figure of speech in which an expression is used to refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity"

* Life is a journey

* Storm of controversy

* There are plenty of other fish in the sea

* The winds of change are blowing

* My father is the glue that held our family together
