wildblue 7 #53 August 8, 2007 A simile is a figure of speech in which two essentially unlike things are compared, often with a phrase introduced by like or as: Her teeth are like pearls. He’s white as a sheet. "A deferred dream dries up like a raisin in the sun." (Langston Hughes) A metaphor implies a comparison between otherwise dissimilar things without the use of like or as: "All the world’s a stage." (Shakespeare) She’s so shy. She’s a little mouse. By marrying her, he’s embarked on a sea of troubles. An analogy is a type of comparison. It compares objects or ideas from different classes – things not normally associated. The word analogy refers to a whole idea or paragraph; the analogy itself may contain similes and/or metaphors: I was so sick. My head felt like a battered soccer ball, and the nasty flu was the home team trying to score a goal with it. source it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
