Question

Camel is the ship of desert.. identify figure of speech

Answer 1

The camel is a domestic animal that has been used by man for thousands of years. Allaah created it with excellent abilities that enable it to walk for long distances over sandy desert hills where there is neither water nor vegetation, and where strong winds and dust storms are frequent. That is why it is called the "Ship of the Desert". 


Camel’s Body

The camel has a strong, heavy body and it weighs between 450 and 650 kilograms, and it may even be heavier. It is usually about 2 meters high or even more.

 

This heavy body is carried by four strong, long legs which keep the body away from the heat of the desert sand. Its legs also help the camel to have a wide pace and agile movement.

 Each leg ends with a broad pad of fats and flexible fibers coated with a thick layer of hide.

 

It looks like the sole of a shoe and it is called a "sole pad". This sole pad helps the camel move easily over the desert sand without his legs sinking into the sand, because the sole pad is amazingly wide when the camel walks. The camel can also painlessly and tirelessly walk over extremely hot solid rocks by virtue of this thick sole pad which is almost completely insensitive to the outside environment

Answer 2

it is simile as it is directly said that Camel is the ship of desert
