A simile is a comparison statement that uses the words “like” or “as”, for example (she was AS tall as a giraffe) a metaphor on the other hand is a comparison between two things that DOES NOT use like or as ( example: the sun an executioner)

Simile - comparison using "like" or "as"

Metaphor - comparison without using like or as
