Simile

1 answer

A simile is a figure of speech that uses comparison to describe something by using the words "like" or "as." It is often used to enhance the description of something or to create vivid imagery.

For example, "Her smile was like sunshine" is a simile that compares the brightness and warmth of the smile to the sunshine. Another example could be "Her eyes sparkled like diamonds," which compares the brightness and brilliance of the eyes to diamonds.
