What's the difference between a metaphor and a simile? "My brain is like silly putty" for example-- which one is that? (link)
|
A simile has the word like or as which compares one thing to another. Your example question is a simile comparing the brain to silly putty. A metaphor is an implied comparison which uses a word picture. For instance, the line, "All the world's a stage and we all must play a part" is a metaphor.
It's a wise investment to purchase a grammer rules reference book. Writing is something you will do, to some degree, all your life.
