Hey there!

I believe when you compare some thing with like or as, that is a simile.

I hope this helped! :-)

A simile is a comparison of two unlike things using "like" or "as".

For example:

"John was like an eagle, as he quickly spotted the rabbit, and was able to capture it."

Note that the word like was used, and that it compared John with the eagle


hope this helps
