similes+and+metaphors


 * Similes** compare something to something else using either like or as.

Some examples form novels are: his hair was that special mad yello, like an omelette

eyes like trespassers

he has a face like a good natured bun

the orange apricot in the sky
 * Metaphors** links something to something else- they are more concrete. Examples are:

chocolate cake matress thick

the long thin knife of memory

The key to similes and metaphors is be creative, original and imaginative!
