Simlies

What is a simile?
A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things with as or like to make the sentence more interesting.

Examples of similes

• You're as slow as a snail 
• I'm as strong as a bull 
• This pizza is as cold as ice 
• I'm as lazy as a sloth 
• That dog eats like a pig   

Metaphors vs similes
These both figures in speech are often thought of as one, well they are not. A metaphor is when you compare two things that are similar in some way without using the words as or like. Whereas in a simile you say that a person,place or thing is like something else using the words like or as.
