Hello There! :)

-Her smile is a crescent moon that shines in the dark.

  • ''Her smile is a crescent moon''

-This sentence is an example of a ''metaphor''

  • Metophor - Is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is compared directly with something without the usage of ''like'' or ''as''.

Examples :-

  • Her food is heaven.
  • She is an angel.

Thank you!

Hope this helps!
