Answer 1

$\huge\pink{\mathfrak{answer}}$

The sky on a clear day is like the inside of a huge balloon swelling up, up, up into space. My cat is a wisp of smoke that slips between the gap in the fence on a cold morning. What do both of these sentences have in common? They use the wonderful tools of metaphors and similes to craft images.

Metaphors and similes both compare two things. The original thing that’s being described is called the “subject” of the metaphor or simile, and what the original is being compared to is the “object.” Poets use metaphors and similes to compare two very different things that we wouldn’t normally think of together, in order to bring up new ideas and surprising observations.

Now that we know their similarities, here are the differences:

• Metaphor: compares two things directly without using “like” or “as”; the subject IS the object. Metaphors are more direct than similes, which can make them seem stronger or more surprising. Example: The sunrise this morning was an ocean of honey dusted with powdered sugar.
• Simile: compares two things by saying they are “like” each other; the subject IS LIKE the object. Similes remind us that a comparison is being made, which sometimes makes them easier to understand and follow. Example: Falling in love feels like a thousand crickets jumping around in my chest
