Step-by-step explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn't literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison.

A metaphor is a comparison that doesn’t use “like” or “as.” An example of a metaphor would be, “Her eyes were the size of the sun.” Or “His eyes are the stars.” Their eyes aren’t *ACTUALLY* the stars or the size of the sun, it’s just comparing them to something unreal. Hope this helps!!
