metaphor
"He is a shining star in our company" is an example of an indirect metaphor, where the person is compared to a star without using "like" or "as" to make the comparison explicit.
A metaphor is a literary device that is used to describe something through comparison without using the words "like" or "as". A metaphor of grass could be anything as long as it is comparing grass to something.
A simile is when something is described by comparing it to something else by using the words "as", "like" or "than". For example "float like a feather" or "green as grass". The difference between a simile and a metaphor is that the metaphor says that something is. Simile - Her hair is like gold in the sun. Metaphor - Her hair is gold in the sun.
In a metaphor, the object is the thing being compared to the subject. It helps create a vivid image or comparison in the reader's or listener's mind. For example, in the metaphor "Her eyes were stars," "eyes" is the object being compared to "stars."
A metaphor is a way to compare things using the word "is". Simile's are not metaphors because similie's say something is LIKE another thing while metaphors are saying something IS something when it is not.
Yes, that is exactly what it is, but you can also say that is is comparing something not using like or as
Raining exclamation marks is a metaphor because it is describing something (rain) by comparing it to something else (exclamation marks) without using "like" or "as."
No, a metaphor is a comparison not using like or as. A simile is a comparison that does use like or as.
metaphor {apex}
Yes, calling a person an angel is an example of a metaphor. It is a figure of speech where a word or phrase is used to refer to something else without using the literal meaning. In this case, the person is being compared to an angel in terms of their qualities or behavior.
No, the saying "an aching heart" is not a simile. It is a metaphor because it directly compares the heart to something that aches, without using "like" or "as" as a comparison.
