Simile: Definition and Examples | LiteraryTerms.net
Simile (pronounced sim--uh-lee) is a literary term where you use "like" or "as" to compare two different things and show a common quality between them. A simile is different from a simple comparison in that it usually compares two unrelated things. For example, "She looks you" is a comparison but not a simile.
Metaphor: Definition and Examples | LiteraryTerms.net
Metaphor (pronounced meh-ta-for) is a common figure of speech that makes a comparison by directly relating one thing to another unrelated thing. Unlike similes, metaphors do not use words such as "like" or "as" to make comparisons.
