- Similes have a more profound impact when trying to explain something, rather than just stating it.
-Sally runs really fast.
-Sally runs as fast as a cheetah.
*Similes can be mean, serious, funny, etc.
The following video and picture provide further examples of similes.
Difference Between Metaphors and Similes:
A metaphor is an analogy that compares two different things in an imaginative way. It states what something is rather than what it is like.
Example:
-It is raining cats and dogs.
-The homework was a breeze.
I think you selected a good variety of examples and they were very helpful. I think I'll remember the weasel one the most, just because the two guys are funny looking.
ReplyDeleteGreat examples! I usually get confused on which one is the one with "like" or "as" but by looking at this, I now know which one it is.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of the elephant it made me laugh but now I will not forget what a simile is. I can compare the simile and metaphor now.
ReplyDeleteEven though the simile/metaphor picture is really simple, I loved it! It's so simple and clear. Good job on finding the pictures
