Hello there!!!!

METAPHOR AND SIMILE
`````````````````````````````````````````````````
FIRST OF ALL, YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT BOTH METAPHOR AND SIMILE ARE LITERRAY DEVICES WHICH ARE MOSTLY USED IN POEMS.
They also ask it in exams till higher classes so it's important that you understand it clearly.

>>Simile<<
Simile is used for indirect comparison, and words such as, " like" or "as" are used.
Eg. The camel is like the ship of the desert.

>>Metaphor<<
Metaphor is used for direct comparison without using words such as, "like" or "as".
Eg. The camel is the ship of desert

=As you can see there is a lot difference in the two examples.
