SIMILE

Definition : a figure of speech that compares two things using a word such as like, as or than.


Example : You sound like my grampa.


Significance : Simile is one of the figure of speech that is indispensable to language art. Even though simile and metaphor are likely the same but simile indirectly compares the two similar things or ideas but still let them have their distinct. Simile is still being used a lot in poetry because of its expressiveness as a figure of speech.
