Answer 1

Using metaphors and similes can help readers understand something by comparing it to something else that they already know, making the writing more interesting and easier to understand. For example, saying "Jamie runs like a cheetah" helps readers picture how fast Jamie is, even if they've never seen Jamie or a cheetah before.
