Answer:

A simile, like a metaphor, is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two nouns. However, it differs from the metaphor in that it uses like or as to communicate the comparison.

Here are some examples:

Her skin was as white as snow.

In her new dress, she looked as pretty as a picture.

He was as slow as a snail in that race.

She was very ill and looked like death.

Dad smokes 100 cigarettes a day. He smokes like a chimney.

Mary eats very fast. She eats like a pig.

Here is another poem by Langston Hughes. This one is also about dreams but instead of metaphors, it has many similes to communicate its meaning.

See how many similes you can count in the poem?

Dream Deferred

By Langston Hughes

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore–
And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over–
like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags

like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

How did you do? Did you get 5?

1. Like a raisin in the sun

2. Or fester like a sore

3. Does it stink like rotten meat?

4. like a syrupy sweet?

5. like a heavy load.

Metaphors and similes are frequently used for artistic expression because they help to turn ordinary happenings and events into extraordinary occurrences. This is the case not only with literature but also with music.
