because it creates a contrast between two different subjects. It gives the reader a real, vivid picture in his mind instead of an adjective.

For example, instead of saying "Her long hair was golden yellow", we could use a simile and say, "Her hair was like a ray of sunshine". In turn, the reader imagines her hair long and gold.

A simile is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another of a different kind,as an illustration or ornament (e.g.as brave as a lion or as strong as an ox).

The effect that a simile has in a poem is that it paints a picture in our minds because a simile is a descriptive set of words.

If you want to persuade in a way of being overacted. Using similes also help describe a object,person,animal,or otherwise noun.

NOTE:Similes are only similes if they use "like" or "as" in it. If it doesn't, then it is labeled as a metaphor, which usually declares it as what is looks,feels,or in some way seems like.

Example of a simile:The coat is as wet as a rainforest.

Example of a metaphor:The coat is a storm of wet.

**Storm of wetness.

It's all about the details ; )

compares one thing to another eg. the song was as tuneful as a happy bird joyfully singing its daily song or the newly flowered plants were like amethysts sparkling in the golden sun.
A simile is a describing technique by comparing one thing with another using like or as, for example:

The princess is as pretty as a rose.

She was tall like a giraffe.

Why is the frog simile an effective image of the Somebody in Dickinson poem?

The frog simile is effective in Dickinson's poem because it captures the dissonance between the external appearance and the inner reality of the "Somebody." Just as a frog croaks to hide its fear or vulnerability, the Somebody maintains a facade of confidence or authority despite feeling insecure or uncertain inside. The simile highlights the complexity of human nature and the masks we wear in social situations.
