Similes

A SIMILE is another way of comparing two things! It is very similar to a

metaphor but it uses two very special words like and as .

In a metaphor you would say the leaves danced in the wind, in a simile you
would like

The leaves danced like a

ballerina in the wind
OR
The leaves moved as a ballet
dancer
Here are some more examples

Sarah ran like the wind They were as quiet as mice

His hair was as golden as the Sun They ate their dinner like a pack of wolves

She was as angry as a bear Her hair was as red as fire

He stomped his feet like and elephant
