A simile is a literary device wherein one thing is compared to another using the words "like" or "as." In the sentence "you could start a fire from this gaslight," the comparison is made between the strength or intensity of the gaslight and the ability to start a fire. This comparison helps create a vivid image in the reader's mind of just how powerful the gaslight is.
