Simile- A comparison using like or as. He was as bright as the sun. Metaphor- A word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is does not literally apply. Its raining cats and dogs. Literal- Going along with the real meaning of the words used. He was as bright as the sun- literally means if you look at him for too long you will injure your eyes! Its raining cats and dogs- literally means there are cats and dogs coming out of the sky! Figurative- Describes something that is not to be interpreted by its literal meaning, but instead using a symbol or likeness. He was as bright as the sun. Figuratively means he is really smart. Its raining cats and dogs- figuratively means that its raining very hard. Why use them? - Create powerful mental pictures using a limited amount of words.
