Question

Similes and metaphors differences?​

Answer 1

Two of the most famous methods that work very well are similes and metaphors. Both of them are widely used by writers to create mental images for their readers and make their texts more lively and interesting.

SIMILE: A comparison of two different things using the words, “like” or “as”.
Example: As tall as a giraffe.
Life is like a camera

METAPHOR: A comparison of two different things that DOES NOT use words “like” or “as”
Example: My mom is a teddy bear.
Life is a game.
