What are similes?. a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid How Do Similes Work? Similes often use hyperbole, or exaggeration, for emphasis. In the simile, “He ran as fast as lightning,” the writer isn't suggesting that the subject is actually as fast as lightning, but is using the hyperbolic simile to make the comparison and craft a compelling description..

Examples of similes. She is as busy as a bee. Regina is sly as a fox He is as big as Raaidh She swims faster than a swordfish Hela is as cold as ice Reyna is royal as a queen Neon is fast as lightning. Yoru is brave as a lion.

What are metaphors?. A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase denoting one kind of object or action is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them. When using a metaphor to describe something, make sure that the image is as vivid as possible. Not overly complex. Metaphors don't need to be written in the heightened language or ideas of Shakespeare; many good metaphors use everyday language and images that readers can immediately understand and relate to.

Examples of metaphors. Laughter is the best medicine. She is just a late bloomer. Is there a black sheep in your family? His heart of stone surprised me. I smell success in this building. He's buried in a sea of paperwork. There is a weight on my shoulder. Time is money..
