Simile

Definition: A figurative language that compares two unlike thing using "like" or "as".






Example:


"Coffee is like friendship: rich and warm and strong."








Significance: We use simile everyday in our life. Like metaphor, we use it without noticing it. For example, "Dang! He's a beast at this !" Without simile, we can't really compare two unlike things. Simile is like a part of our life. Writing often contains simile.
