Question

Which line from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller is an example of a simile?

During the whole trip I did not have one fit of temper, there were so many things to keep my mind and fingers busy.
I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was.
One day, while I was playing with my new doll, Miss Sullivan put my big rag doll into my lap also, spelled "d-o-l-l" and tried to make me understand that "d-o-l-l" applied to both.
Child as I was, I at once felt the tenderness and sympathy which endeared Dr. Bell to so many hearts, as his wonderful achievements enlist their admiration.

Answer 1

Answer:

" i was like that ship before my education began, only i was without a compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbor was."  

Explanation: this could be confused for a metaphor being that metaphors and similes are like twins. What you need to remember is that a simile compares two unlike things using like or as. And a metaphor compares two unlike things without using the word like or as. therefore in this case because she uses "i was like" that is the line with the simile.
