Question

Give an example of a smiley used in the poem a dream chapter 3

Answer 1

Similes

Hughes also used many similes in his writing.

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.
