Simile vs. Metaphor

We have been talking about using similes and metaphors to describe people and things in a different way. For this blog post, I would like you to choose something to describe, and then use both similes and a metaphors to describe it. You may discover that one is easier than the other.

Here's an example to get you started...

Simile
The toddler was like an octopus, pullng things off every shelf.

Metaphor
The toddler was a three-ring circus, going in every direction at once.

Remember to include your first name or initals when you post your comment.

Metaphor: Life is bag of M&M’s, you never know what you are going to get.
Simile: Life is like a bag of M&M’s , you never know what you are going to get.
The simile was easier to come up with the, and the metaphor was more difficult.

My dog is a black Labrador Retriever and Mastiff mix. She is as big as a barn. She is a bulldozer and knocks down everything in her path. Her bark is as loud as Thunder. Her fur is as black as the night sky. When she licks me, the slobber on her tongue is like drops of slime. When she pants, she sounds like Darth Vader. I love having Zoe for my dog.
