In this post, I will be talking to you about the difference between a simile and a metaphor. They are both a figure of speech. I will then write you a couple of my own similies with scenarios. :)
What is a Metaphor?
A metaphor is when you state that something is something using the terms 'am' or 'are.' For example, picture yourself doing a big tackle and you yell out "I am a beast." That's you saying that you are something of which you are not.
What is a Similie
A simile is stating that you are like something. Using the terms 'like' or 'as.' For example, imagine you and your friend are swimming, he has the ability to swim in deep waters for a longer period of time you could say something like "You swim like a whale." That is a simile because I said that he/she was like something that they are not.
To sum everything up metaphors and similies are different but close at the same time. I hope that this improves your writing and that you can now use this figurative language in writing, song, or poem. Have a good day and if you had enjoyed this please leave a comment. :)
Great job dear nephew. Keep up the good work. Keep practicing using figure of speech. Perhaps you could write a song.🙂
