Sarcastic Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 A simile is like a metaphor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartluongo Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I'm pretty sure a metaphor still compares an object to another, except it does not uses the word "like" or "as". Example: The girl is a snake. Or something like that. Idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie.the.Unicorn Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Roberto Luongo is like a brick wall as nothing gets passed him. His determination is like the mortar that holds everything together, while his body are the clay bricks themselves, an organic substance made stronger after being worked with. More? I could go on. Wait, in metaphor form.. sorry, just saw that now. Roberto is a brick wall, as nothing every gets by him. The rest of that is a simile. But, for a metaphor, the net, the promise land for each game is protected by Roberto. Each goalies tries to save the opposition from scoring, as with each goals comes a dagger in each team's chances to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiLBoY Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 dont wanna be a hassle but can you tell me how you did that? haha thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Since order doesn't matter 4+1 3+1 and 4+1 for each fruit, you have the option of putting in the number you have plus one (not putting in any) 5x4x5-1=99 cuz one of those possibilities is having none of each so u subtract 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartluongo Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Naw. A direct comparison with words such as 'like' or 'as' is a Simile. A Metaphor is more complex, well, sometimes. It is a lot more rhetorical, and sort of makes two usually unrlated objects to be equal to one another, usually in the form of a subsitution. There are also about a dozen different types of metaphors. Basically, a simile is saying than something is LIKE or SIMILAR to something else, while a metaphor is saying than something IS something else. An example of a VERY simple metaphor is the famous line from Shakespeare "The World is a Stage". Insert 'like' there, and you have a simile... but metaphors can often be very complex and could be a lot less obvious than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
