Question

Explain with the help of examples the following literary tools:
a) Metaphor
b) Simile
c) Stanza​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A metaphor makes a comparison by stating that one thing is something else, but a simile states that one thing is like something else. If you're trying to tell the difference between metaphors and similes, the more obvious comparison in similes makes them easier to identify as figures of speech.

Answer 2

$\rm \underline{ Metaphor:}$

$\rm \blue{A metaphor \:  is \: a \: figure \: of \: speech \: that } \\ \rm \blue{describes \: an \: object \: or \: action \: in \: a \: way} \\ \rm \blue{that \: isn't \: literally \: true, \: but \: helps } \\ \rm \blue{explain  \: an \: idea \: or \: make \: a \: comparison.}$

$\rm{Example: } \rm \blue{ \: He \: is \: strong \: as \: lion.}$

$\\ \rm \underline{Simile :}$

$\rm \blue{A \: simile \: is \: a \: figure \: of \: speech \: that \: } \\ \rm \blue{directly \: compares \: two \: things. \: Similes} \\ \rm\blue {are \: differ \: from \: other \: metaphors \: by} \\ \rm \blue{highlighting \: the \: similarities \: between} \\ \rm \blue{two \: things \: using \: comparison \: words} \\ \rm \blue {such \: as \: like, as, so, or \: than \: .}$

$\rm{Example: } \rm \blue{You \: were \: as \: brave \: as \: a \: lion.}$

$\rm \underline{Stanza:}$

$\rm \blue{A stanza \: is \: a \: series \: of \: lines \: grouped \: } \\ \rm \blue {together \: in \: order \: to \: divide \: a \: poem;} \\ \rm\blue{ the \: structure \: of \: a \: stanza \: is \: often \: } \\ \rm \blue{ (though \: not \: always) \: repeated \: } \\ \rm \blue{ throughout \: the \: poem.}$

$\rm{Example: } \rm \blue{ \:But \: if \: thou \: live, } \\ \rm \blue{remember'd \: not \: to \: be, } \\ \rm \blue{Die \: single,} \\ \rm \blue{and \: thine \: image \: dies \: with \: thee.".}$
