Metaphors & Similes | English

Welcome to another post on my blog. Today, in English, I completed another activity for the main topic that we are working on, Creative Writing. For this activity, I had to write in my own words what are metaphors and similes, with two examples each. 

Both metaphor and similes are used to make comparisons. 

Metaphors: Are directly state a comparison.

    Example 1: The classroom was a zoo.

    Example 2: He is a cat.

Similes: Use the words like or as to compare things.

    Example 1: You are as fast as a cheetah.

    Example 2: You are as strong as a gorilla.
